How much is a Skyss ticket in Bergen, and how do I buy one?
Prices from 1 May 2026, zones and where to buy tickets.
Short answer
An adult Skyss single ticket for one zone in Bergen costs NOK 51 and can be bought in the Skyss app, at Bybanen ticket machines or on board buses. Children aged 6–17 and seniors from 67 pay NOK 26. You cannot buy a ticket on board Bybanen, so buy it before you get on.
Why
- Skyss prices from 1 May 2026 set an adult single ticket at NOK 51 for one zone, NOK 78 for two zones and at most NOK 189 for four zones or more.
- All of Bergen municipality is in zone A, together with Askøy, Øygarden, Osterøy, Alver, Austrheim, Fedje and the former Os municipality.
- Skyss says a Bybanen ticket must always be bought in advance: in the Skyss app, at the machines at every stop, by SMS, in the webshop or at the customer service centre at Bergen bus station.
Details
On buses you can buy single and 24-hour tickets on board and pay with cash or a Visa, Mastercard or Maestro card, usually by tapping it. You always get a paper slip that works as both ticket and receipt. A 24-hour ticket for one zone costs NOK 136 for adults, and students get around 40 per cent off.
Tip
If you will make three or more trips in one day, the 24-hour ticket at NOK 136 costs less than three single tickets at NOK 51 each.
What may differ
Trips beyond zone A cost more, up to NOK 189 for an adult single. Children under 6 travel free, and an adult with a valid ticket can take up to four children aged 6–18 along free of charge. With the Bergen Card, buses and Bybanen are free throughout Vestland.
Common misconception
You can buy a ticket on board Bybanen.
What actually happens
Skyss sells no tickets on board Bybanen. Buy the ticket in the app or at the machine on the platform before you board.
