Travellers name Malmö C as Station of the Year

Many of Sweden's stations lack information, customer service and signage for travellers. The consumer organisation Resenärerna has surveyed passenger service at over 400 stations in Sweden and is launching the Station of the Year award. The Travellers' Association appoints Malmö C because it is easy to understand for regular commuters, infrequent travellers and tourists. This includes the possibility of personalised service and over-the-counter ticket purchase.
