		In Sweden, the delights of the morning commute are a relatively modern phenomenon, as indeed is urban life in general.

	Pendeltågen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		From the late 1960s until the late 1970s, the winters in the Stockholm region were relatively mild, but beginning in the late 1970s a series of severe winters exposed the X1 cars' vulnerability to snow and cold weather.
		The principal problem was that the cars' air intakes sucked snow into the motors, where at the very low temperatures being experienced it froze to ice, putting the motors out of commission.
		That's unfortunate in a way; one of the reasons I moved to Sundbyberg was that it has both subway and commuter rail service.

	The Deptford Lads in Stockholm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Stockholm is a great place for a weekend or short break.
		Because Stockholm is situated on a collection of islands, it is a bit more spread out than other cities of a similar size, and you really do need to use the public transport system (unlike Copenhagen, which has a pretty compact city centre that is easy to walk).
		If you are only in Stockholm for a few hours, there is one thing that you must do:- the 17th century warship Vasa has been preserved in a truly excellent museum on Djurgarden.

	Monorail vs. Light Rail
		The rail line should go where the people are and where the people want to go, and that means major transportation arterials with current or the capacity for high density commercial and residential land use applications.
		Installing a surface rail system would tear up the entire roadway for months, if not years, not to mention the large amounts of additional right of way which would need to be appropriated from property owners to accommodate the rail system.
		Light rail makes virtually no difference to the congestion on the highway, and if you want to win the election, you have to win the votes of all the drivers who want all those other people off the highway so they get a clear shot.

	The City Line - A railway tunnel beneath Stockholm - [Banverket] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The southern approach to Stockholm Central Station, which carries approximately 550 trains each day, is one of the worst bottlenecks in the Swedish railway network.
		More commuter trains will be able to operate through Stockholm even during peak traffic periods, and punctuality will be improved.
		Long-distance and goods traffic through Stockholm may also be developed as the rail network is gradually extended in Southern and Central Sweden.

	Benefits and Costs of a PRT system in Stockholm
		The imbalance of modal development - both in the retrospective and in the forthcoming period is shown in Figure 1.
		Our conclusion from this observation is that the present type of transit systems (bus, metro and commuter rail) is insufficient in its performance to attract new travelers to cope with the self-service system of the automobile.
		Therefore, a PRT trip demand analysis has been carried out for the entire Stockholm County Area (population; 1,775,000 inhabitants in 1998), with the simplified assumption that a PRT-station would be (theoretically) available in every traffic zone (1,043 zones) and running on the present major road links in the network.

		Franchising spreads across Nordic countries; franchising of passenger rail services is well established in Sweden.
		Whereas the Norwegian government has chosen to franchise the rail network line by line, this is not the case in Denmark and Sweden.
		Franchises in Sweden are controlled either by local authorities, which have a monopoly for the provision of local services, or by the National Public Transport Agency, Rikstrafiken, which was set up in 1999 to procure inter-regional rail, road, air, and ferry services that are not commercially viable.
