About the Risberga brygga – Kalvholmen (Vaxholm) brygga crossing
One minute — sometimes two, three or four — and 51 sailings a week over nineteen daily departures, from 07:15 to 19:15 across seven day patterns.
Seven calendars for a one-minute crossing is the most disproportionate pairing in this batch. The journey is nothing; the scheduling is everything, because the boat has to be at the right jetty at the right minute or the island is unreachable.
Risberga and Kalvholmen are in the Stockholm archipelago near Ljusterö, close enough that the two jetties are in plain sight of each other. Waxholmsbolaget lists the leg separately because a passenger needs to know it is served — a hundred metres of water is still water, and nobody swims to a bus stop.
