I’ve shown you the Stockholm metro<\/a> in detail.<\/p>\n

But I’ve got a lot more from Stockholm. Today it’s the airport and the connection to the city.<\/p>\n

Arrivals:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

It’s a great idea to point to the next restroom in the narrow hallway:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

In the baggage claim area there is a nice advertisement for the express buses to the city:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Swedish is white, English is yellow. Customs has two spaces:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Passage to another terminal:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Stairs to the boarding gates. Curiously, the arrows and exit numbers are yellow, not white:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

But I had to go to the city, and the express bus didn’t appeal to me. It turned out to be cheaper and more interesting to get there by regular transportation, not a dedicated airport service. I took a bus to a place called Märsta, then a commuter train from there.<\/p>\n

Outside the airport:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The bus stop:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Bus 583 to Märsta:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

An almost-selfie from the bus:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

A bus stop in Märsta:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The commuter train station next to it:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The trains await at the platform:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

A sign:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The door doesn’t open automatically. A funny character points to the button from above:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Inside the train:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

There’s an ad in the transportation system style here, too, like I’ve shown on metro trains before<\/a>. Nice:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The “don’t sit with your feet on the other seat” icon:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

I got off at Stockholm’s Central Station and some people went further on. Now the character points to the button from below:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

After three days in Stockholm, I went back to the airport — this time, on the very bus from the ad. It runs from the Central Station as well. The boarding gate has automatic doors:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Departures:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The map of terminal 5:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

The pictures are from the trip in June 2016.<\/p>\n
