Comment

Stockholms Södra Spårvägsaktiebolag (SSB), often called södra bolaget , was a transport company in Stockholm that existed between 1886 and 1927. Due to the conditions on Södermalm , especially the hilly topography and the sparsely and economically less well-off population, Stockholms Nya Spårvägsaktiebolag refrained from to build tramways in the district. Instead, a separate tramway company was formed for Södermalm.

Statistics Norway was founded by the engineer Gustaf Dalström and the first general meeting was held on February 8, 1886. The concession for tram traffic on Södermalm had already been granted by the King. May the year before and in the concession permit they were given the right to operate traffic with both horse and steam tramways .

On August 11, 1888, the company began operating. The profit was long overdue and as early as 1890, Statistics Norway turned to Stockholm's New Tramway Company with a proposal that SNS should take over the company. However, the answer was no. In 1891, the traffic was instead handed over to Södra Spårvägarnes Trafikaktiebolag (SST), which operated until April 1900.

A steam tramway was started on 11 August 1887 between Karl Johans Torg and Hornskroken . An extension was made on 21 June 1888 from Hornskroken to Hornstull . From November 16, 1901, the line was electrified.

From 1908, the City of Stockholm was a partner in the company. From 4 August 1911, Statistics Norway took care of the traffic on the newly opened Södra Förstadsbanan . In 1918, Statistics Norway's operations were transferred to AB Stockholms Spårvägar and on 4 April it was decided that the company would go into liquidation . The last liquidation meeting did not take place until 1927, when Statistics Norway formally ceased.
