If you reside more than a certain distance from the school or have a particularly dangerous or difficult journey to school, you have the right to school transport. This does not apply to/from after-school programme activities (SFO)
The distance between school and home must be more than:
- 2 km for primary school pupils, grade 1
- 4 km for primary and junior school, grades 2 to 10
- 6 km for upper secondary school.
The distance is measured door-to-door using the shortest route including foot- and cycle paths. If you are a pupil in primary school and have a particularly dangerous or difficult way to school, you have the right to school transport irrespective of distances. This applies if you are handicapped or temporarily injured or sick.
If you attend a private school, you have the right to school transport but only within the municipal/country boundary where you reside.
