Blåsut metro station is a station on the Green Line (line 18, Farsta strand–Alvik) of the Stockholm metro, located in Blåsut ("Blowout"), Johanneshov, Söderort. The station was on the first metro line (from Slussen south to Hökarängen) and opened on 1 October 1950.[2] It is 3.6 km (2.2 mi) from Slussen. It is an outdoor station with a platform and with a ticket hall at the southern end.
The name is taken from a tavern that was located at a forest ranger's residence, the current Blåsutvägen. Blåsut was during the 19th century a common name for windy and windy places.
In 2008, the station's artistic decoration, carried out by Ann Edholm, was inaugurated, with elements such as "speed lines", made of black and white tiles, as well as "an abstract composition, which can associate to a face".
