Transportation

Driving licence

Students staying in Norway for less than one year do not need a special driving licence. For students who intend to stay for longer, an international driving licence is required. For your own convenience, you are advised to acquire the international driving licence in your home country before leaving for Norway. Contact your national motoring association or the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency for further information.

Public transportation

A single bus fare within the boundaries of the city costs NOK 30 (the ticket is valid for one hour and transferable between buses). However, the average fare will be lower if you purchase one of the various kinds of travel-passes available.

On Friday and Saturday nights, from 1am to 4 am, there are several bus services available FROM (not to) the city centre. In this case no travel-passes are valid and the fare is around NOK 60.

More information on fares and timetables relating to buses and trams in Trondheim, you will find on the website of AtB, the public transportation company in Trondheim.
