Schedules in Bergen
Bus schedules can be a bit difficult to understand. Ask a local or a bus driver, both will usually be able and happy to assist you. There is an information desk at the bus station providing information on all local bus and train lines free of charge. Calling 177 will also put you in contact with the information center (if you call from a cell phone, be sure to ask for the information center for Hordaland county, as this is a national service).
Schedules and outline maps of the services are available online . The online map FINN kart displays the location of bus stops (but not schedules or lines). Schedules can also be picked up from any bus, but are only available in Norwegian, like their web counterparts.
For a few major stops, the bus may have a fixed departure time, and will not leave before schedule. At other stops though, a bus may leave a few minutes ahead of schedule. During periods of high traffic, the bus may be several minutes late. Rush hour traffic is sometimes accounted for in the schedule by greater time allowances, but busy Saturday shopping is often not.
Schedule information at stops, if present, refers to the bus' departure time from the originating station, or another major stop, and there are usually few indications on how long the bus takes to reach your stop. Furthermore the name of a stop is almost never written on the stop itself, and in some cases, one stop may be referred to by multiple names, often corresponding to a particular landmark. Don't be alarmed; as long as you take into account that you may have to spend some more time than the schedule says, you'll be fine if you ask the bus driver or a passenger for help. If you roll your eyes and complain about the bus system, locals will love you!
