Tickets can be bought from the driver or from ticket machines at major stops. The driver only accepts cash payment. Ticket machines are in Norwegian only, but some instructions in English are provided, and finding a local willing to help will usually never be difficult.

Tickets for travels within Bergen municipality (and Straume on Sotra, Kleppestø on Askøy, and Søfteland in Os) cost kr. 31 per trip for adults, and kr. 15 for senior citizens (67 years or older), children (15 years or younger) and other people entitled to a discount (such as the disabled). Note that if you pay by cash within Bergen, there is a 10,- fee onboard the buses. This can be avoided by using ticket automats and the cell phone app (''Skyss Billett'' in Play Store and Apple store).

If you purchase your ticket from a machine, you will be given a receipt and a grey card that is actually your ticket. The ticket must be validated when you enter a bus by holding it close to the electronic card reader until you get a green light. Tickets bought from machines are valid from 90 minutes from the time of purchase, which means that it is not possible to buy a stack of tickets in advance, you need to buy your ticket right before your travel. When you purchase a ticket from the driver, you will find the time of validity printed on it. Within the ninety minutes you may travel freely within the area covered by your fare.

If you are caught without a valid ticket or fare card, you will be kicked off the bus and get a 750NOK fine. Controls are common and performed by both uniformed and plain-clothes personnel.

Fare cards in the form of the electronic "Skysskort" can be obtained at the customer service desk at the bus station (see above). The "Skysskort" can be personal or anonymous.

*Both anonymous and personal cards can be charged with kr. 200 at a time. You can then use the card to pay for single tickets from the driver or ticket machines. This entitles you to a 17% discount off the adult fare. You can charge your card with the driver or by using ticket machines at major stops.

*With both anonymous and personal cards, you can buy a 12-journeys pass from the driver or ticket machines. Adults will get 12 journeys for the price of 10. When you enter a bus through the back door, hold your card close to the card reader. After a few seconds, the card reader display will show "FleksiSkyss" and the number of journeys remaining on your card. Press the button close to the text, and hold your card close to the card reader again. You will get a green light when your card has been charged the journey. If you enter the bus through the front door, tell the driver that you have a "FleksiSkyss" card and he or she will charge it for you. Note that 12-journeys passes can only be charged one journey at a time. If you are several people travelling together, you need one card per person.

*Personal and anonymous cards allow you to buy 7-days, 30-days, or 180-days passes, giving you unlimited travel for the chosen period of time. Students receive discounts on the 7-, 30-, and 180-days passes. Youth (aged 16-19) can purchase 30-days passes for kr. 295. Passes can be activated and renewed with the driver or by using ticket machines. If you are entitled to a discount you have to activate your pass with the driver or at the bus station the first time you want to use it. When you travel with a 7-, 30- or 180-days pass remember to always carry a photo ID, and validate your card by holding it close to the card reader when you enter the bus (there's no need to press any buttons).

*Cell phone app allows you to buy single tickets, 24hour tickets, 7 day and 30 day tickets on the cell phone, by credit card. It is reccomended to have a functioning data connection on your phone when using the app, but if you get a norwegian sim card it is an excellent and easy way for tourists to get period tickets to travel cheap. The app is available in norwegian and english. The cell phone app only covers the zone 1 Bergen area.
