We look forward to welcoming passengers on board our new buses. Especially now that the restrictions have been lifted and we can all travel as normal again. We have a really good local knowledge and have been running public transport in Norrköping and Finspång for several years now. We will continue to do our best to ensure that new and old customers choose to travel in a sustainable way.
