Stops and timetable
The Linnélinjen departs twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon from each city. The journey is estimated to take approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. There is plenty of time, so the journey may be faster.
In Kalmar, the buses depart from the Universitetskajen stop and go via the Universitet PG Vejdes väg stop in Växjö (by the campus Pressbyrån), and then to the end stop which is Växjö station (location X). On the way, Linnélinjen stops only at one stop in Nybro (stop Hanemåla) and one in Lessebo (stop Stationsgatan).
The reverse applies to buses from Växjö, which depart from Växjö station (location X) and then go via Universitet PG Vedjes väg, Lessebo and Nybro to the end stop Universitetskajen in Kalmar.
Buses from Kalmar depart at 07.05, 09.00, 15.00 and 16.52 from the Universitetskajen stop. Buses from Växjö depart at 06.50, 09.07, 14.50 and 17.08 from Växjö station (location X) and they depart 10 minutes later from the Universitet PG Vejdes väg stop in the roundabout by the campus Pressbyrån.
