"crumbling rail system"? Going to Sweden on vacation. Please tell me it's BS :)

Seriously, Sweden is an amazing country, so beautiful. People are so welcoming there, it's incredibly safe and easy to go around.

Everybody speaks English and is willing to help.

Some swedes that were mingling with some of this horrible immigrants the blogger was talking about where kind enough, to invite me to their place to sleep.

Don't guide yourself by anything on this article, I'm surprised it got so far.

Go to Sweden and enjoy that amazing country.

Crumbling is not the same as crumbled. There is an increasing problem with maintenance that has been neglected over the years and they have been plagued by some embarrassing and high profiled delays over the past year or two. They've also been a bit slow with replacing some trains, but on the whole it still works well enough.

Better than the Italians, not as good as the Japanese basically.

It's infinity times better than the US rail system.

It's "crumbling" because the system has been split up into smaller companies with some parts having been contracted out to private companies all of which now fight over whose responsibility it is to fix certain parts of the infrastructure.
