PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, STOCKHOLM

To compare the public transportation of Turku with a more developed system I looked into the situation in Stockholm.
The differences are many, but not huge - if you now what I mean. I feel like there is a lot to learn from the system in Stockholm and just by making small changes you can make the public transportation more appealing and better.

Public transportation, Stockholm  
- easy to load buscards (goes for all public transportation), you can load them in a "pressbyrå"(near every bigger station),supermarkets, or on a machine(picture below)
-every busstop has light (no need to be afraid of dark)
- on both metro and bus stations there is a digital screen where you can see when the next ~4 buses/metros are arriving and where they are going, and on every bus/metro there is a digital screen + voice to know what the next stop will be 
- the busses are longer (more people fit in)
- you open the doors in the bus yourself, no need to be angry at the driver  (picture below) also no need to be afraid that the door closes
- many maps of where/how buses/metro/train are driving
- food/drink machines on the stops

... To be continued...
The card that goes for all public transportation

No public transportation in the heart of the city, Which makes it possible to fit more stores etc and have perfect bicykleroads, still keeping the public transportation close.
