This Centre, which is manned 24 hours a day, is responsible for the main road network in the Western part of Sweden, an area about 170 km wide and 600 km long. The primary means of public transport in the Gothenburg region are tram, bus and commuter train.

A wide variety of priority measures for public transport has been applied.
