Krösatågen
About
Krösatågen is a regional train system in southern Sweden, operating since 1985. It's a collaboration between county transport companies in Jönköping, Kalmar, Halland, Blekinge, Kronoberg, and Skåne, with trains currently run by SJ Krösa. The network spans from Hässleholm in the south to Linköping in the north, and Halmstad in the west to Kalmar in the east, serving numerous destinations in between. The name \Krösatågen\" comes from earlier trains used to pick lingonberries (\"kröson\") in Småland. Tickets are purchased through the regional public transport authorities or the Resplus system, as tickets cannot be bought on board."
