NOK 189 against NOK 51 buys about a quarter of an hour to the bus station, and to Bryggen it buys nothing: 32 minutes here against a 44-minute tram and a short walk.

On Saturday it stops at 18:30. Ten buses, hourly from 09:30, and then nothing until Sunday 10:30; the tram runs every 10 to 15 minutes until 03:11 that night.

From four people a taxi is cheaper: NOK 756 here against Bergen Taxi's NOK 614 by day and 664 at night.

Buy online before you board: the driver charges more, and the operator does not say how much more.

The ticket is good for any departure on the day you chose, on the same stretch — a late flight does not waste it — but it cannot be changed or refunded.

Its 00:45 is the last thing leaving the airport on Sunday to Friday nights, twenty minutes after the 00:25 from Copenhagen lands; it does not run on Saturday night.

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.
