Trafikkselskaper

Trafikkselskaper, also known as transportation companies or public transport authorities, are organizations that manage and operate public transportation systems in Norway. Their primary goal is to provide efficient and reliable transportation services to the public.

Trafikkselskaper are responsible for managing various modes of transportation, including buses, trains, ferries, and metro systems. They are also responsible for planning and coordinating public transportation schedules, fares, and routes. Additionally, trafikkselskaper are involved in infrastructure development and maintenance, including the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and tunnels.

In Norway, trafikkselskaper are often regional or municipal organizations, responsible for managing public transportation services within specific regions or cities. They are funded by a combination of local, regional, and national government funding, as well as revenue generated from transportation fares.

Some of the key functions of trafikkselskaper include:

* Planning and operation of public transportation services

* Management of transportation infrastructure

* Fare collection and revenue management

* Coordination with other transportation operators

* Maintenance of transportation infrastructure

Examples of trafikkselskaper in Norway include Trafikanten (Urban transport in Oslo), Vesttrafikk (Public transport in western Norway), and BKK (Public transport in Bergen).
