rödlinjen

Rödlinjen is a colloquial term used in Sweden to refer to the line of public transport that runs north-south through the city of Stockholm. While there is no official designation of "Rödlinjen," it commonly encompasses the Red lines of the Stockholm Metro. These lines, specifically T17, T18, T19, and T14, traverse a significant portion of the city, connecting various districts and serving as a crucial part of the urban transit network.

The Red lines originate from the northern parts of Stockholm, such as Mörby centrum and Danderyds sjukhus, and extend southwards, with different branches serving areas like Fruängen, Norsborg, and Askar. Key interchange stations allow passengers to connect to other metro lines, buses, and commuter trains, facilitating travel across the wider Stockholm län. The construction and expansion of these lines have played a vital role in the development and accessibility of Stockholm's suburban areas. The distinctive red color of the line indicators on maps and station signage is the primary reason for its informal name.
