By analyzing anonymous and aggregated data from the mobile network, Telia can provide an image of our travel patterns.
From mid-March and five weeks onward, mobility declined dramatically in society, especially in Stockholm. But in week 17, which began on April 20, people began to move more and more.
Decreased again during the Valborg week, week 18, which was probably due to fewer trips and fewer work trips when more people were vacant. Last week, week 19, mobility increased again.
– Here we look weekly. You should be careful here and look for more weeks to say something about a real trend, says Kristofer Ågren, head of data information at Telia.

In Skåne, mobility compared to week 6 has decreased by 14 percent. At the same time, the rebound on Scania’s trip last week was 5 percent more modest.
– It seems that we are starting to look more and more like us, says Kristofer Ågren.
Last week they all had counties an increase, he notes. This is most evident in Stockholm, Gotland County, Uppsala and Södermanland County.
– It seems that we are also seeing similar trends in the other Nordic countries. It is natural because they are opening now. We see similar behavior in Sweden, although no one has said it is time to open up.
