Summer holiday ticket

All young people between the ages of 7 and 19 who are registered in Uppsala County will get a free summer holiday ticket from UL this summer, 2025. Here you can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions.

Who is entitled to a free summer holiday ticket?

  • The ticket is valid for those aged 7 to 19, as well as those who turn 20 during the ticket's validity period.
  • Youths who are registered in Uppsala county will receive a letter with a personal voucher code to redeem in the UL app. The letter will be sent to their registered address, or to their guardian for those who are under 16. The letter is sent out from 7 May. Have you not received the letter by 15 May? Contact UL Costumer Sevice: fragaoss@ul.se.
  • Youths who live in Uppsala County but do not have a registration address, for example asylum seekers, are also entitled to a free summer holiday ticket but will not receive a letter in the mail. Contact UL Customer Service for more information: fragaoss@ul.se.
  • Youths who are registered outside Uppsala County are not offered a free summer holiday ticket from UL, but are welcome to buy a ticket from the regular ticket assortment. Read more about our different youth tickets here.

When and where can I use the ticket?

  • The ticket is valid from 1 June 2025 to 31 August 2025, around the clock.
  • The ticket is valid for travel in the UL area with City buses, Regional buses, Mälartåg on the Uppsala-Sala, Uppsala-Gävle and Uppsala-Arlanda/Märsta routes, as well as the SL shuttle on the Uppsala-Knivsta-Arlanda route. Special rules apply to travel with buses to/from Stockholm County, read more about UL and SL here.

Can I get the ticket on a UL card?

  • It will be possible to exchange the voucher code and get the summer holiday ticket on a UL card instead. An online form will be posted here after the letters have been sent out in May.

How do I activate the ticket?

  • Log in/create an account in the UL app before you redeem the voucher code. If you reinstall the app or change devices whilst your summer ticket is active, you need to log on to the UL app again to access your ticket.
  • Make sure that the correct phone number is registered in the app, under More - Settings - User settings. The ticket cannot be transferred or sent to another number or app user.
  • The voucher code can only be redeemed once.
  • When the voucher code has been redeemed, you will find the ticket under the Ticket tab, and it will automatically start on 1 June.

What if I lose the ticket?

  • Log in/create an account in the UL app before you redeem the voucher code. If you reinstall the app or change devices whilst your summer ticket is active, you need to log on to the UL app again to access your ticket.
  • If you have the summer holiday ticket on a UL card, you must register the UL card at ul.se to be able to get a new card if you lose it. The card must be registered before it disappears, it cannot be registered afterwards. Should the registered card disappear, report it at ul.se, and we will send you a new card with a summer holiday ticket. It costs nothing to get a new card, but you must pay for the trips you need to make while you wait for the new card. Here is a link to the page where you can register your UL card.

Personal data

  • The source for the data used for the letter is SPAR (the Swedish state personal address register).
