Buy Västtrafik Tickets with Crypto

Västtrafik's main self-service flow is the To Go app, where you can buy single tickets, day tickets, and season tickets for travel across Västra Götaland without registering first. The app documents payment card and Swish, which makes the card route the practical SolCard fit.

Västtrafik lets riders tap a Visa or Mastercard for an adult 90-minute zone A ticket on buses, trams, and boats in Gothenburg, Mölndal, Partille, and Öckerö. One traveler needs one payment card, and you cannot start a trip by tapping on Västtågen, so the card rules are explicit before you board.

Day tickets behave differently depending on where you buy them. In Västtrafik To Go they activate immediately at purchase, while day tickets on a Västtrafik card start on first use or at a chosen time within 30 days, which matters if you want the charge to line up closely with your first ride.

Season tickets can be bought with a flexible start date that activates on first read within 30 days, or with a fixed start date chosen when you pay. Västtrafik also states that 90-day and 365-day tickets on a Västtrafik card are only sold with a fixed start date, which is important for commuters planning ahead.

An adult 24-hour or 72-hour ticket, or an adult season ticket, in Västtrafik To Go can include up to three travelers under 20 at no extra cost. You have to add the included ticket in the app, and the offer does not apply to a Västtrafik card, so the qualifying purchase path is very specific.

Västtrafik says four single-ticket purchases in the app during a week generate a refund you can use on a later purchase. That is useful if you ride often enough to trigger the app's refund cycle but not often enough to commit to a full season ticket.
