Free road ferries
Among its roughly forty crossings is the Kolhättan–Svanesund ferry to the island of Orust on the Bohuslän coast. Like the other road ferries, it is free to use and runs frequently as an extension of the road, from the Bohuslän skerries to the Stockholm archipelago and the northern lakes.
