How are our fares determined?

Here you will find information about our categories and zones.

Zones

Bus fares are calculated based on how many zones you travel though.

A fare zone for bus travel is a geographical area that defines how far you can travel before the fare increases.
Our zones are based on municipal boundaries, but there may be supplementary zones and several municipalities may also be in the same zone.
As the size of the zones may vary, the length of the journey in kilometres does not necessarily affect how much you pay.
If the entire journey is within one zone, you pay for one zone.
You must add one zone every time you cross a zone boundary.

A journey from Tromsø to Harstad is six zones, but a journey from Narvik to Harstad is three zones.
When you transfer to another bus in our route network, you only pay for the total number of zones you travel through.
Rebbenesøy is included in the Karlsøy and Lyngen zone. Travellers from Rebbenesøy pay the same fare to Ringvassøy and Tromsø.
If you buy a ticket on your phone, you must buy a ticket for the entire journey on the first bus, even if you are changing buses. This way you get a discount for transferring to another bus.
