Information about season tickets for Skyss buses, the light rail, and some boat routes

Season tickets that cover one or multiple price zones can be used on

  • Skyss buses
  • The Bergen Light Rail (Bybanen)

Additionally, several boat routes in Vestland are included in the price zone system and have the same prices as buses. These include

  • Askøybåten, the boat route from Kleppestø to Strandkaien
  • Nordhordlandsbåten, the boat route from Knarvik to Frekhaug to Bergen
  • Florø-Askrova-Stavang-Svanøy (Florabassenget south)
  • Florø-Barekstad-Batalden-Fanøy-Rognaldsvåg-Kinn (Florabassenget north and west)

If you plan to travel with other boat routes, you will find information about season tickets for boats here.

Season tickets on trains, express coaches, and the Osterøy ferry

  • Trains: If you have a 7-, 30-, or 180-day season ticket for zones A, E, and F, you can use the season ticket on trains along the entire route between Bergen and Voss station, including Vossebanen and Arnalokalen. More information about trains can be found here.
  • Express coaches: With a 30- or 180-day season ticket, you can, with some exceptions, use it for trips on express coaches in Vestland, as long as you have a ticket for the zone or zones you are traveling in. More information about using Skyss tickets on express coaches can be found here.
  • Osterøy Ferry: If you have a 7-, 30-, or 180-day season ticket for zone A, you can use it for bus trips on the Osterøy ferry. Note that if you travel with a single ticket or a 24-hour ticket on the bus, you must buy a single ticket for the ferry from the ferry crew.

If you have your season ticket on a Skyss Travelcard and are traveling by train, express coaches or Osterøy Ferry, you must show both the Skyss Travelcard and the receipt from the webshop.

 

 
 

Validity and price zones

  • A season ticket is valid for 7, 30, or 180 days, starting and ending at the same time of purchase.
  • During the validity period, you can travel as much as you want within the price zone for which you have purchased the ticket. It is possible to purchase tickets for multiple price zones.
  • The ticket's cost increases based on the number of price zones you plan to travel through, with a maximum of four zones.
  • You can use the ticket as long as you board while the ticket is valid. If you need to transfer during your journey and the season ticket has expired before boarding the next mode of transport, you will need to buy a new ticket.

Who the ticket applies to

  • You can get a season ticket for adults, children, seniors, and students.
  • The ticket is non-personal and can be used by others, but it can only be used by one person at a time. Remember that the person using the season ticket must always meet age and discount requirements. For example, as an adult, you cannot travel with a season ticket intended for children.
  • To lend tickets purchased through the Skyss ticket app, you must physically lend your phone. To lend a ticket on your Skyss travel card, you must lend the Skyss travel card.

If you are travelling in the Bergen area, you do not need to show your ticket when boarding. If you are travelling outside the Bergen area, you must always present your ticket to the driver or boat crew when boarding. You can find more information about boarding here.

Note: If your season ticket is on your Skyss Travelcard, remember to show both the card and the receipt when traveling by train, express bus, or the Osterøy ferry.

If you're over 18, the family discount lets you bring up to four children for free. The discount is valid every day throughout the year.

Please remember:

  • You must be over 18 years old and have a valid adult, senior, student, or military ticket. Youth ticket is not valid for family discount.
  • The children must be between 6 and 18 years old.
  • Children under 6 years old travel for free.

The family discount applies to Skyss buses, the light rail, and select boat routes. Please note that the discount is not valid on the airport buses in Førde and Sogndal.

Family discount on trains
The discount is valid on trains between Bergen-Arna-Trengereid if you have a single ticket or a 24-hour ticket for zone A. It also applies to trains between Bergen and Voss if you have a period pass (7, 30, or 180 days) for zones A, E, and F.

If you travel by bus in combination with a boat route that does not have zone pricing, you will receive a discount if you purchase a combination ticket. The combination ticket consists of a period ticket for one or more bus zones and a period ticket for a specific boat route. You will get a 50 percent discount on the bus ticket.

You can buy the combination ticket in the Skyss webshop and choose whether the ticket should be valid for 7, 30, or 180 days. This type of ticket is not available in the Skyss Ticket app or on board the bus or boat.

Remember that period tickets for buses are also valid on the Askøy boat, the Nordhordland boat, and the boat routes in the Flora Basin. In these cases, you do not need a combination ticket.
