👍 Other ways to buy a ticket

If you cannot pay by bank card on the bus, you can:

• buy a ticket in the Svipper app

• buy a ticket at one of our sales outlets

Travel cards are available from our sales outlets in Tromsø, Harstad and Finnsnes.

Why are some bank cards not accepted?

The payment terminals on the buses do not connect to the bank to authorise the payment. This means your bank card must support payments without an internet connection, also known as offline payments.

Cards that require the bank to authorise each payment cannot be used.
