Chapter 3 · How Sweden is governed
Bilden visar kollektivtrafik. Vilka delar normalt ansvaret för regional kollektivtrafik om inget annat har avtalats?
The photo shows public transport. Who normally shares responsibility for regional public transport unless otherwise agreed?
Correct answer: The region and the municipalities
Responsibility for regional public transport is normally shared by the region and the municipalities in the county. They can agree that the region or the municipalities alone will be responsible. Public responsibility does not mean politicians themselves operate the buses.

Why this option does not fit
Staten och EU
The EU and the state can influence the rules, but do not share this responsibility for regional services.
Staten och länsstyrelsen
The county administrative board is a state authority. It differs from the elected region that shares responsibility with municipalities.
Kommunerna och länsstyrelsen
Municipalities normally share responsibility with the region, not the county administrative board.
