Nobina has won the tender for public transport service in Karlstad region, Sweden. The news is reported on trade media bussmagasinet.se. Keolis is today operating in the concession. Nobina and Keolis have been the only ones to submit bids to the tender.

Bussmagasinet.se says: “The service agreement is only valid for the period 1 July 2025 – 11 December 2027.
