Five new connection lines to the ferry terminals in Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn will be opened with Båtbussen from May 3, 2024. Together, Destination Gotland and Västanhede create the opportunity to travel to and from Gotland via 15 new destinations around Sweden.
Over 15 new stops make it easier to travel without a car
The Boat Bus has previously been running between Nynäshamn and Cityterminalen in Stockholm. Starting in May, until November, travelers will be able to travel directly from locations around Sweden such as Växjö, Jönköping, Linköping and Uppsala with stops along the way.
The new bus connections are part of the long-term effort to create alternatives to traveling by car, while increasing accessibility to Gotland.
– We want to make it easier to travel to Gotland for everyone, with or without a car. With the boat bus, it will be possible to travel from an additional 15 locations around Sweden directly to one of our ferry lines during the spring, summer and autumn, says Adam Jacobsson, sales and marketing manager at Destination Gotland.
Bookable from March 20
Starting today, March 20, all of Båtbussen's lines can be booked in all Destination Gotland channels in connection with booking, or afterwards for those who already have a booked boat trip.
Tickets cost from 119-299 SEK and children up to 12 years old travel free when accompanied by a guardian.
– We are so proud and happy that Destination Gotland chooses to hire us as their bus supplier. This collaboration gives us an exciting opportunity to expand on the east coast, a market we believe can give us great opportunities in the future. We are also happy that we get to be part of this new initiative and at the same time contribute to a better environment for us and our descendants when more people can choose buses instead of cars, says Västanhede CEO/Owner Tomas Ramsell.
The boat buses are powered by the renewable fuel HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) and can accommodate up to 80 people and luggage.
