How to travel in the Bergen region with the Bergen Card
Skyss is the company that operates public transport in Bergen and across Vestland county. With the Bergen Card, you can travel for free on Skyss buses, the Bergen Light Rail, and some boats within the zone A. There's no need to buy a separate ticket - just show your valid Bergen Card when boarding or during ticket inspections.
You can use the Bergen Light Rail to visit attractions like Edvard Grieg’s home, Troldhaugen, and the Fantoft Stave Church. Skyss buses take you to places such as Old Bergen Museum, Lysøen Island, or even as far as the Hardangerfjord and Odda, if you're planning to hike Trolltunga.

- Take Skyss bus 930 from Bergen Bus Station to Odda Station. The ferry crossing between Tørvikbygd and Jondal is included.
