Bus Travel in Norway

Norway's scenic railway journeys are among the country's main highlights, so its a wonder why you would want to travel any other way. However Norway's bus routes are far more extensive than its rail network and it is likely that you may find the bus your best travel option.

There are quite a few bus companies operating in Norway although Nor-Way Bussekspress (website www.nbe.no) is by far the most dominant player. Nor-Way Bussekspress operates throughout the country extending well into the Artic Circle providing connections with intersecting bus routes and other forms of transport including trains and ferries.

Other bus companies include JVB (website www.jvb.no) which operate an East-West express service between Bergen and Lillehammer and Narvik based Ofotens Bilruter (website www.ofotens-bilruter.no) with its route network in Lappland.

There are international bus services to northern Finland, Gothenburg and Stockholm in Sweden and Murmansk in Russia.
