Routes 1 and 2 in Örebro’s city network are Citylinjen:
Citylinjen offers high-frequency service, dedicated traffic lanes, centrally located stops, and priority at traffic signals. For you, this means the bus travels faster, more frequently, and with better punctuality. In 2025, we will also introduce electric buses for Citylinjen.
Recognizing Citylinjen
Citylinjen has a unique design, both inside and out. You’ll recognize Citylinjen by its logo and green color. The logo and color will be visible on buses, stops, in journey planners, and on our website.
Citylinjen operates with 21 blue and white biogas buses and two green and white buses. The green and white buses have Citylinjen’s future design, with a focus on the green color.
The 21 blue and white buses features Citylinjen’s logo and several visible green accents. Examples of green accents include decals showing that you can board through any door on Citylinjen.
The reason we are starting with blue and white buses is due to a delayed delivery of the green and white buses. When we begin using electric buses on Citylinjen, they will have the green and white design.
Travelling with Citylinjen
Citylinjen mostly operates in its own dedicated lanes. The lanes and stops are located in the middle of the road to minimize impact on other traffic. Regional buses and emergency vehicles also use these lanes.
Citylinjen has a high frequency of service:
- 5-minute intervals between the stops Tegnérlunden and Universitetsplatsen on weekdays (Monday to Friday) during morning and afternoon peak hours.
- 10-minute intervals on weekdays (Monday to Friday) from outer areas.

Rules for everyone´s comfort
To make the bus ride enjoyable for everyone, we kindly request that you keep the following in mind:
Signal clearly to the driver so that she or he can see that you want to get on. Ideally, you should wear reflectors when it is dark. If you do not have a reflector, please get in touch with our customer service, and we will send one to you.
When two buses arrive at a bus stop at the same time, the second bus will not stop and passengers must board the first bus. If three buses arrive at a bus stop, the third bus will wait until the first two have driven off before driving up to the bus stop to allow passengers to board.
Please move further back in the bus. When there are a large number of passengers on the bus, it is important to show extra consideration, especially for those who are getting on and off. There is often more space at the back of the bus, and we recommend that when boarding you to sit or stand as far back in the bus as possible.

- drink alcohol or smoke
