How season tickets work
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.
How to buy a season ticket
You can buy season tickets for 7, 30, or 180 days through the following channels
- Skyss ticket app
- Skyss webshop
- Customer Service at Bergen Bus Station
- Vy app (for zones A, E, and F)
- Entur app
If you buy a season ticket through the Skyss webshop or at the customer service center, you'll need a Skyss Travelcard. You can order a Skyss Travelcard 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.
Prices and price zones
There are ten price zones in Vestland. When you travel within a zone, you pay the same price regardless of the distance of your journey. The ticket price increases for each price zone you purchase a ticket for, but you never pay for more than four zones.
Here you can find a map of the price zones and more information on how the zone system works
Zone A season ticket provides free parking
If you have a season ticket for zone A, you can park for free at selected parking spaces in Bergen and the surrounding area. This parking arrangement applies to cars, motorcycles, and mopeds. Remember to have a parking permit.
You can find more information about parking permits and public transport parking here
Family discount
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.
Combination bus/boat season ticket
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.
