About the Klara Mälarstrand – Lilla Essingen brygga crossing
Ten weekday-only sailings, eleven at weekends, and six that run all seven days. Twenty-seven departures in total, between 08:50 and 20:45.
The weekend has more than the working week
Eleven weekend boats against ten weekday ones, and the weekend service runs later — to 20:45 against 20:00. On a city ferry that inversion says the route carries leisure traffic rather than commuters.
