Wholesale tax stamp for traders at Central Station after renovation

Due to the reconstruction of Getingmidjan and travelers traveling south of Södra or Flemingsberg station, a large number of travelers moved away from the central station and other stations.

This meant a problem for traders, reports Svenska Dagbladet. According to traders, as the newspaper spoke, sales figures were 25 to 45 percent lower than normal.

But despite this, the owner offered no compensation in terms of lease to the dealers.

– Now no one will survive long term, says Haris Maslo at Kahl's Tea and Coffee Shop in SvD.

The problems have been going on for two summers now. Last year, work with Citybanan continued, which meant that the station had fewer passengers than usual. Merchants express the understanding that the job needs to be done, but is still frustrated by the fact that sales show compared to a normal year.

– God yes, I lost everything. The reduction is double digits, so much so. There is general chaos for the shops here, says trader Ica Magnus Ekstrand for SvD.
