62% of Sweden's buses are now connected using Telia's IoT services
Public transportation plays a critical role in the transition to a more sustainable society. Telia's IoT services give transit authorities and operators the digital tools they need to optimize operations, reduce emissions, and improve the travel experience for both passengers and drivers. According to the latest analysis from Berg Insight, the number of buses using Telia's Smart Public Transport services continues to grow across the Nordic region.
Strong Growth in Sweden and Finland
In 2025, approximately 1, 300 buses entered service with Telia's connected services onboard across Sweden, Norway, and Finland. According to analytics firm Berg Insight, 62% of Sweden's public transport buses now use one of Telia's Smart Public Transport services – a significant increase from 51% in 2023. Finland also shows positive growth, rising to 36% from 25% in 2023. Norway and Denmark stand at 8% and 6%, respectively.
Digitalization is essential for creating efficient and sustainable public transport. Services that make journeys more comfortable and predictable encourage more people to choose buses over cars. We're proud to support this development alongside our customers.
We offer a complete end-to-end package for connected public transport, backed by an experienced delivery organization that works closely with our customers and partners. Our IoT hardware and services can be installed directly at the factory, saving transit operators valuable time during service launches and enabling immediate use upon bus delivery. This allows them to optimize operations and create a better, safer journey for both passengers and drivers from day one, adds Björn Hansen.
