An Honest Comparison
Private Car, Light Rail, Airport Bus or Taxi?
Bergen has good airport transportation. If you travel alone with light bags and stay near a stop, public transport works well. A private car suits families, groups, business travellers, cruise guests and anyone with skis or an address away from the stops.
| Option | Into town | Who meets you | Your bags | If your flight is late |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bybanen light rail (line 1) | About 45 minutes | You find the platform | You carry them | Take a later tram |
| Flybussen | About 20 minutes to the bus station, 25 to 35 to the centre stops | You find the stop | Hold under the bus | Take a later bus |
| Airport taxis | 20 to 30 minutes | You find a taxi at the taxi rank | Depends on the car | Find a new one |
| Private driver | 20 to 30 minutes, door-to-door service | Your driver, in the arrivals hall | Carried for you | Flight tracked, 60 minutes free |
Bergen taxi fares are metered and vary with the time of day. With us, you know the price up front: a fixed price agreed before you travel, from NOK 3,000 incl. VAT to central Bergen.
