About
Skyss provides transport by bus throughout Bergen, the former region of Hordaland and the Bergen Light Rail. Travel by public transport to explore the attractions of Bergen or one of our magnificent Norwegian fjords.
You can travel by the Bergen Light Rail to visit Edvard Grieg's home Troldhaugen and Fantoft Stave Church, or by bus to visit for example Old Bergen, Lysøen Island, Voss, the Hardangerfjord or the Aurlandsfjord. Or even to take the bus to Odda.
Pubilc transport within the city center:
Bergen city center is compact and best explored by foot. (Or segway!). Within the city center it is better to walk than to take the bus. From Bryggen it takes 5 minutes to the Fish Market and another few minues to the Fløibanen funicular by foot. The Tourist Information is also located centrally on the Fish Market.
To and from Bergen Airport Flesland:
You can also travel with Bybanen (Bergen Light Rail) line number 1 to and from Bergen Airport Flesland to Bergen city center. Tickets can be purchased at a Skyss ticket machine, with the mobile app Skyss Billett, in a number of kiosks and shops or on board some of the buses. (Not on board city buses and the Bergen Light Rail).
Bergen card holders can make use of public transport with Skyss for free in Bergen (including the Light Rail to and from the Airport) and busses in the former region Hordaland. Not including the Airport bus from Bergen city center to Bergen Airport Flesland. The card is valid for public transport with the operator Skyss to places like Voss, Odda, and all of the Hardangerfjord area. If you are going to Flåm you have a free journey part of the way.
