Buy tickets on board

Here you will find information about buying tickets on board our buses and express passenger boats.

Buy tickets on board

On board the bus

  • You can pay by card on all buses in Tromsø, Harstad, South Troms, and on regional and local bus services.
  • We are currently installing new card readers on buses in North Troms and Midt-Troms.

Visa and Mastercard are accepted on board.

👉 Please note: We do not accept Visa Electron or cards issued by other card providers. Visa Electron cards always require online authorisation from the issuing bank before a payment can be completed. The card terminals on board our buses cannot perform this online verification.

On board the express boat

To guarantee a seat, you must purchase your ticket before departure.

If seats are still available, you can buy a ticket on board using a bank card.

  • On express passenger boats, travel vouchers may only be used by primary and upper secondary schools.
