With Entur – national travel planner (website or app) you may search and get alternatives from all public transport providers in Norway. Ticket purchase for every route is not available here, but there are links to the relevant bus companies.

The entire route between Oslo and Hovden does not always appear, so you need to know that NOR-WAY Bussekspress corresponds with Agder Kollektivtrafikk in Haukeli. The companies reserve the right to make changes, so check the timetables before you travel.

It is recommended to buy tickets online or via the app before departure. Online tickets are often cheaper than buying on the bus.

Some public transport providers have additional products that must be pre-booked (child seat, bringing a bicycle/extra luggage, etc.), so check their website if required.
