Where each one leaves you
tram · Skyss, the Vestland county authority; the line is run by BybanenBybanen light rail, line 1
From
The platform in the basement of the terminal, one level below arrivals
To
Byparken, at Torgallmenningen, calling at Bergen busstasjon and Nonneseter for the stations on the way
Luggage
A low-floor tram with standing room; no racks are described. Hand luggage, prams and wheelchairs travel free.

Nothing is sold on board. Buy at the machine on the platform (the bank card you pay with becomes the ticket), in the Skyss app, or in the web shop; SMS to 2412 still works but is being withdrawn in autumn 2026. The fine without a ticket is NOK 1,250, or 1,050 paid on the spot.
The single is valid for 60 minutes from purchase and the ride to Byparken is 44, so buy it when the tram is due, not when you land; in the app you can set the start time. Any onward bus from Byparken on the same ticket has to be boarded inside the hour.
The last tram is 00:08 from Sunday to Thursday. The 00:25 arrival from Copenhagen misses it every night but Friday and Saturday, when it runs until 03:11.
One adult ticket carries up to four children aged 6 to 17 free, every day of the year, which is why a family should not look at anything else.
It is not valid on the Flybussen, and neither is any other Skyss ticket.
The coach is 25 minutes to the bus station and this is 41, for NOK 189 against NOK 51; the tram's advantage is the price, the hours and the frequency, not the clock.

It never beats the tram, one to eight. Four people pay NOK 614 here against NOK 204 on the Bybanen; eight pay NOK 854 in a minivan against NOK 408. It buys about 25 minutes and a door.
It beats the coach from four. Four on the Flybussen pay NOK 756 against 614 here by day and 664 at night; three pay 567 and still win.
The price is Bergen Taxi's, not the airport's. Avinor lists seven companies and sets no fare; the kiosk shows each company's price for your address before you choose, and the others may be higher or lower.
From 18:00 to 06:00 on weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday the car of four is NOK 664 and the minivan NOK 924.
The fixed price covers the peninsula center only. For anywhere else, the 07000 app quotes a fixed price for the address before you confirm; by phone you get a maximum and pay the meter if it comes in lower.
Between 03:11 and 05:11 on Friday and Saturday nights, and after the coach's 00:45 on the others, this is the only thing moving.
