The sea and the fjords have been the main travel arteries for Norwegians ever since the Viking days. There are regular passenger ships operating daily from Bergen to Kirkenes in the far north. There are also many other coastal services with fast boats. Passenger travel by the sea and fjords have some limitations. Even the extensive network of Norwegian air transport services has its limitations.
Some communities are in the mountains or on the rugged coast.
These communities have to rely on regional airports. Bus services connect many of the airports with the nearby communities. As a result of this explanation, one can readily appreciate the reason for the NOR-WAY Bussekspress and its steady growth for almost a decade. From the beginning of the NOR-WAY Bussekspress, there was a specific program to make the services as uniform as possible and give it an attractive marketing image. The early plans were given considerable thought and fine tuning.
