SMS ticket
You can buy single tickets for Skyss buses in Vestland, Bergen light rail and some boat connections and receive the ticket as an SMS (text message) on your mobile phone.

This is how it works
The ticket is valid from the moment it is received and is valid for 90 minutes. SMS tickets are only valid on the phone on which they are purchased and are not valid if forwarded.
Some mobile contract subscriptions may have limitations on services that add charges to your bill. This for example, applies to certain subscriptions for children and foreign numbers, who therefore will be unable to buy SMS tickets.
How to buy an SMS ticket valid in one zone:
Send an SMS to telephone number 2412 with the code word for the ticket you want:
- Vaksen (adult)
- Honnør (senior)
- Barn (child)
Make sure to only write the norwegian word.
The ticket is valid instantly, from the moment you receive it and lasts 90 minutes. The ticket will state how long it is valid for. You may use either lowercase or uppercase letters to write the code word.
Please note: Some are experiencing issues sending text messages to the phone number 2412. If this applies to you, add +47 and send a text message to +472412. Efforts are being made to fix the issue.
