Planka

Planka.nu is a Swedish organization founded in 2001 that advocates for free public transportation. Its primary activity focuses on promoting sustainable urban transport policies and providing a fare-dodging insurance service for its members, covering fines incurred from using public transit without a ticket. The organization emerged in response to increasing public transport costs and aims to challenge the economic barriers to mobility. Over the years, Planka.nu has gained attention for its unconventional approach to activism and its role in public debates on transport policies. Its impact is notable in raising awareness about public transportation issues and influencing discussions on fare-free transit solutions, particularly in the Nordic region.
