About the place

Stockholm Arlanda Airport anchors the regional rail corridor between the capital and Uppsala.

Privately maintained track infrastructure introduces an added passage charge on commuter rail tickets, so regular transit users often choose regional coach lines or connecting buses via Märsta.
