What Samtrans does

Samtrans Omsorgsresor AB is a Swedish specialized passenger transport company headquartered in Solna and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nobina AB (publ), the Nordic region's largest public transport operator. Founded in 1988 and employing between 501 and 1,000 staff, the company delivers special collective transport services — färdtjänst (paratransit / wheelchair taxi), sjukresor (medical travel), skolskjuts (school transport), and group travel — on behalf of Swedish municipalities and regions, executing approximately 1.7 million passenger trips annually.

The core product portfolio is organized around procurement contracts with Region Stockholm and more than ten Stockholm-area municipalities, supplemented by direct-to-consumer services (Privatresor private wheelchair taxis and the new Ekerö Flex app-based rideshare). Underlying technology includes the Samtrans Resor mobile app with real-time GPS vehicle tracking and BankID-secured login, the Ekerö Flex app with Stripe-powered in-app payment and rideshare dispatch, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified quality and environmental management systems, and a network of contracted taxi companies (åkerier) whose drivers must complete Samtrans's training and certification program.

Revenue is generated primarily through managed-services contracts with public-sector buyers under Swedish public procurement, with secondary transactional revenue from private wheelchair taxi fares (start fee plus distance-based tariff) and fixed-fare Ekerö Flex rides at 43 SEK per journey. Customer quality metrics are externally validated, with 95% driver-treatment satisfaction and 97% booking-center satisfaction recorded by Svensk Kollektivtrafik's Anbaro quality measurement.
