Parking for public transport passengers
Free parking is available for public transport passengers in select places in Bergen and the surrounding areas.
This is how it works
Park for free
The parking spaces are reserved for public transport passengers Monday–Friday, 06:00–18:00, except holidays. In the period 18:00–06:00, these parking spaces are available to anyone (except Steinsviksvegen and Kystbygarasjen at Straume).
Rules for parking
The maximum parking period is 20 hours, and there is no guaranteed availability. This applies to parking both with and without a parking permit.
It is your responsibility to make sure you have a valid parking permit for your vehicle. If you do not have a valid parking permit, or your car is parked for more than 20 yours, you may be fined in accordance with the Parking Regulations (in Norwegian). In certain situations, your vehicle may also be towed.

Who can get a parking permit
In order to park for free, you need a valid season ticket (7, 30, or 180 days) for adult/student/senior within or to/from Zone A in the Skyss Ticket app. In addition to a valid season ticket, you also need to register a parking permit in the app.
How to register a parking permit in the Skyss Ticket app
- Go to “Meny” (upper left hand corner) and select “Parkering” .
- Register up to two vehicles. Please note! You may only park one vehicle at a time.
- Remember to activate your parking permit the first time you park.
- The parking permit is automatically activated when you renew your season ticket, and it remains active until 18:00 on the day your season ticket expires.
Parking permits when you have a Skyss Travelcard
If you have a Skyss Travelcard for your season ticket, please contact our customer service centre for a parking permit. Parking permits are not yet available in our webshop.
