This is how much the SL card will cost in 2027

The Stockholm Coalition. That's the name of the new board in the region, which today presents its new budget.

The Social Democrats, the Green Party, the Center Party, the Liberals and the Christian Democrats presented the direction for the term in connection with the government taking office.

A total of SEK 4.5 billion will be added to public transport and healthcare together compared to 2026.

The tax cut corresponds to roughly half the scope for reform.

The parties already told in connection with the accession that the tax would be reduced by five öre to 12.28 kroner per earned hundred.

- For me as a social democrat, it is important that we do not have burdensome regional and municipal taxes. They are, so to speak, flat. I believe more in the progressive state taxes, says financial regional councilor Aida Hadžialić (S), who defends the tax cut:

- I would never do anything that affects the business, the travelers or the patients. We freeze the tariffs for the SL card and maintain certain subsidies for children, the elderly. The healthcare staff receive subsidized prices, says the financial regional council and continues:

- We arrange the basic financing for all our operations. There will be no downsizing, but rather an expansion. When there is a small margin, you should be able to give back to the residents, she says.

The SL rate will remain at the same regular level as in 2026, i.e. the level that applied before the halving which was financed by temporary government funds.

The regular price for the monthly cards will therefore be SEK 1,060 in 2027.

In September, the traffic administration placed an order for 80,000 new departures in public transport during 2027.

There is no additional money for targeted investments in more purchased traffic in the budget for 2027. The Green Party promised in the election campaign that one billion will go to more departures in SL traffic.

- But it is something that I am obviously looking forward to expanding during the term, says Jakop Dalunde.

The region also provides the TBE vaccine free of charge up to the age of 18. It costs the region 28 million in 2027.

- Very important for children and young people to be able to move freely in nature. Many people worry about this. That we secure vaccinations is preventive work, says center-party regional councilor Michaela Haga (C).

SEK 25 million is set aside to shorten care queues in real investments and SEK 90 million in other initiatives.

- I am satisfied with the kitchen hijacking focus, says the health care regional council Carl-Johan Schiller (KD).

Before the election, the Social Democrats promised a free SL card for all healthcare workers. It is not included in the budget for 2027.

- Now we are taking a first step and subsidizing the SL card at 35 percent. We will continue to move towards that election promise, says Aida Hadžialić (S).

The new board in Region Stockholm has been criticized from both the left and the right, but for different reasons. The Left Party has warned of a right-wing turn in politics, while the Moderates have called the new coalition "a sham marriage".

In other words, it was expected that the opposition regional councilor Axel Conradi (M) is not particularly impressed by the budget.

- This is a betrayal budget. Election promises are betrayed when the tax remains unnecessarily high, not a penny is spent on more bus departures and health clinics that were forced to close remain closed, says Axel Conradi.
