==Transportation== === Roads === The [[European route E4]] highway passes to the east of the city and provides the main connection by road to Uppsala. Several other smaller roads, such as [[Riksväg 72]] and [[Riksväg 55|55]], connects the city with cities such as [[Enköping]] and [[Sala, Sweden|Sala]]. === Public Transport === ==== Buses ==== Buses within [[Uppsala Municipality]] and [[Uppsala County|county]] are operated by [[Kollektivtrafikförvaltningen UL|UL]]. <ref>{{cite web |url=https://regionuppsala.se/det-har-gor-vi/kollektivtrafik/ |title=Region Uppsala Kollektivtrafik|website=regionuppsala.se|access-date=6 May 2023}}</ref> Bus lines in Uppsala go under two categories: city buses, and county buses. City bus lines, of which there are 15, <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ul.se/globalassets/kartor/uppsala-linjenat-vinter-2021.pdf |title=Linjenät Vinter 2021|date=Winter 2021 |website=ul.se |access-date=6 May 2023}}</ref> are meant for journeys within the city. County buses, are instead meant for journeys within the wider [[Uppsala Municipality|municipality]] and [[Uppsala County|county]]. The type of bus line can be seen by its colour, as city buses are painted green while county buses are painted yellow. <ref>{{cite web |url=https://regionuppsala.se/det-har-gor-vi/kollektivtrafik/bussar/ |title= Kollektivtrafik - Bussar|website=regionuppsala.se|access-date=6 May 2023}}</ref> Three city buses, 30, 31, and 32, are known as ''mjuka linjer'', literally "soft lines", which are fitted for the [[elderly]] and [[Disability|disabled]], by having stops closer to places like [[Hospital|hospitals]] and [[pharmacy|pharmacys]], in order to reduce walking distance. <ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ul.se/reseinfo/tillganglighet/mjuka-linjen/ |title=Mjuka Linjen|website=ul.se|access-date= 6 May 2023}}</ref> ==== Trains ==== [[Uppsala Central Station]] is one of the busiest [[Train station|train stations]] in Sweden, with around 45 000 passengers per day. <ref>{{cite web |url=https://bygg.uppsala.se/planerade-omraden/uppsala-c/darfor-ska-stationsomradet-byggas-om/ |title=Därför ska stationsområdetbyggas om|date=28 April 2023|website=Uppsala.se|access-date=7 May 2023}}</ref> The station is served by several different train operators, with [[Mälartåg]], [[SJ AB|SJ]] and [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik|SL]] being the primary ones, while [[Vy Tåg|Vy]] operates [[Sleeping car|night trains]] to [[Narvik]]. Trains depart [[Uppsala Central Station]] in three directions. There are trains to the south, [[Arlanda]], [[Stockholm]] and [[Linköping]], to the northwest, [[Dalarna]] and [[Sala, Sweden|Sala]], and to the north [[Gävle]], [[Sundsvall]], [[Östersund]] and to the northern half of Sweden as well as sleeper trains to [[Narvik]] in Norway. ==== Airports ==== While Uppsala has no civilian airport of its own, [[Arlanda Airport]] is located about 30 km south of Uppsala. [[Ärna Air Base]] north of Uppsala has been proposed for development as a commercial airport, but as of 2024 remains exclusively military.
