Transportation

 

Bergen Airport has an efficient transport infrastructure that connects the terminal with the city centre and the surrounding regions by light rail, buses, ferry services and taxis.

Light Rail (Bybanen)

Line 1 of the Skyss light rail connects the airport with Byparken, right in the heart of Bergen city centre. The stop is located just outside the terminal, on the lower level, and the total journey takes approximately 45 minutes. During the day, services run every 5 to 10 minutes, while in the evenings and at weekends the service is less frequent. Tickets can be purchased from the self-service machines at the stop or via the Skyss Billett mobile app.

Buses

Flybussen (Airport Express): This is the most direct option to the city centre. It stops at bays A3, A5 and A6, just outside the terminal. The route runs through the Knappetunnel and Fyllingsdalen, with six central stops (including Festplassen and Bryggen) close to most hotels. The estimated travel time to the central bus station is 20 minutes. The stops are located outside the arrivals area, and tickets can be purchased online on the official Flybussen website or at the airport ticket machines.

Nor-Way Bussekspress (Long-Distance Buses): From bays A5 and A6, modern intercity coaches (with reclining seats, power sockets and toilets) operate to destinations such as Førde, Sogndal, Haugesund and Stavanger, without the need to change buses in Bergen.

Rent a Car

 

Taxis

The taxi rank is located directly outside the arrivals hall. Inside the terminal, near the exit, there is an information screen and a booking machine where you can request a vehicle and view estimated fares. The main operating companies are Bergen Taxi, Christiania Taxi, Norgestaxi and Taxi1. The journey to the city centre takes around 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

Transportation Tips to/from the airport

Although there are issues that seem more than obvious, it is always advisable to take them into account when moving to or from the airport, and especially if we go by public transport.
 
 1- To the airport - It is convenient to leave with a little more anticipation than what is commonly suggested. If you choose a taxi or a private car service, always take into account peak traffic times, demonstrations, strikes or events that may delay the journey to the airport from where you are. It is always good to be informed about what is happening.
 
If you contract a shared transfer service, have a contact telephone number handy in case of any delay by the company. In these cases they usually already have a scheduled collection time.
 
If you use public transport (collective, train) take into account the schedules (weekends and holidays tend to have less frequency), if you have to change and also how to board (if you need a card or paying the driver or motorist at the moment ). These are details that seem obvious, but it is advisable to know so as not to have surprises and suffer a delay that could cause complications.
 
If you rent a car to get to the airport, check where to leave the vehicle. At some airports, there is an exclusive parking lot for rental cars.
 
 2 -From the airport- Here it is a little less stressful since you don't have the pressure of missing your flight. In the worst case, you will arrive later at the place where you are going to stay or at the meeting point where you are trying to arrive.
 
Once you leave the plane, look for your suitcase and finish with the arrival procedures that are required. Then, follow the directions for public transportation or ask the airport staff.
 
It is very useful to find out in advance the schedules of the buses or trains in case you arrive late at night. Not all work 24 hours. The same goes for taxis. In case of using an Uber-type service, have the mobile application handy to contact the driver.
 
On the other hand, if you booked a private transport service, it is likely that they will have a person waiting for you, identified with a sign. If you rent a car to go from the airport to your final destination, for greater peace of mind it is advisable to book it in advance. Rental counters are usually available in the arrivals hall.
