  It has been converted to a trunk service. There's a reply on this in another thread, but I can't locate it.

  It has been a trunk service all along, only thing special was that Sv. 700 buses were equipped with a transmitter to turn traffic lights green as part of a pilot project, hence the term "RAPIDBUS".

  Nope, the transmitters were removed after some time.
