About Linjekollen

Linjekollen shows UL's buses live on a map of Uppsala and Uppsala County. You see where the bus is right now, which line it runs and where it is going. It works right in the browser, on a phone and on a computer.

What you can do

See the buses on the map: Every bus is a badge with its line number and an arrow that shows which way it is heading.
Choose a line: Search for the line number and see that line's buses and its whole path, without the other lines.
Follow a bus: Tap a bus to see where it is going, what is left of its trip and which stops remain, with the times from the timetable.
See departures from a stop: Tap a stop or search for its name. You see the departures for the next two hours and which buses are on their way there.
Find your stop: My stop picks the nearest stop within 500 metres of where you are standing.
Rewind with Omloppet: Linjekollen stores where the buses have been. In Omloppet you can play back how the traffic moved earlier, and share the moment with a link.

Common questions

Is Linjekollen a service from UL?

No. Linjekollen is an independent project and has no connection to UL, the public transport authority of Uppsala County. Tickets, journey planning and traffic information are found at UL.

Where does the data come from?

The buses' positions come from UL's real-time data, and the timetable from the same source. Both are fetched through Trafiklab. The map comes from OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap.

How often are the buses' positions updated?

New positions are normally fetched every 5 seconds. The map always shows how old the latest position is, both for the whole map and for each bus.

Do the times show delays?

No, not yet. The times at the stops are the timetable's. The bus's position on the map is the real one, though, so you can see for yourself whether it is running behind.

Does it cost anything, and what is stored about me?

Linjekollen is free and needs no account. There are no ads and no cookies. The visitor statistics are cookie-free and run on our own server, so no data about you leaves it. Your location is only used in your own browser, when you ask for it, and is never sent anywhere.

Why are stop names and destinations in Swedish?

They are shown as they stand on the signs and on the buses, so that what you read here is what you see at the stop.
