Pågatågen is an interurban commuter and regional railway system in Skåne County, Sweden, and is owned by Skånetrafiken, the regional public transportation authority. The trains are operated by the contractor VR Sverige (owned by Finnish state operator VR Group). The network has 72 stations, of which 9 are in the Malmö Urban Area: Malmö C, Triangeln, Hyllie, Svågertorp, Persborg, Rosengård, Östervärn, Burlöv and Oxie and 6 in the Helsingborg Urban Area: Helsingborg C, Maria, Påarp, Ramlösa, Rydebäck and Ödåkra.
Påg is a dialectal Scanian word for 'boy', and is used to indicate that the trains are local/regional, and tåg is Swedish for train. The trains consist of purple-coloured electric multiple units of the X61 model. The trains are named after famous local people, either real or fictional.
