4:03:57lonjilIt would have been 30ish minutes if not for a change to the commuter rail line a few years ago, alas.
4:05:06lonjilNow it's 35 minutes on a train to stockholm, then 10 minutes on a bus.
4:05:52beachWow. My brother tells me that train service in Sweden is getting worse, and it is not about to get better any time soon.
4:10:02beachHe lives near Tjörnarp in Scania, and the rail traffic there is a complete chaos because it is so frequent that there is no time for maintenance of the infrastructure. So it breaks down regularly.
4:12:51beachPlus, because of deregulation, there are lots of private freight companies that use the infrastructure, and they often have badly maintained train engines that often tear down the overhead power lines.
4:16:15lonjilbeach: overall, the train service in and around Stockholm is definitely getting better. I don't know about anywhere else in Sweden though.
4:20:03lonjilCurrently we have a lot of expansion in Stockholm as well. They're currently building a new metro line to keep up with housing construction and all the people who keep moving to Stockholm.
4:22:46beachI see. Well, my favorite speaker, Jean-Marc Jancovici says it's a bad idea to expand the cities in view of climate change. I agree with him.
4:25:32lonjilPersonally, I just wish I could get a flat here without waiting 12+ years in the housing queue :)
4:27:33lonjilHonestly, I almost feel like it'd be faster to get a marriage visa, move in with my gf in America, and get American citizenship, than to find somewhere to rent here.
4:28:05beachI strongly recommend against moving to the US. Especially now.
