strætisvagna

Strætisvagna is the Icelandic word for "public buses" or "city buses". It is a common form of public transportation in Iceland, particularly in and around the capital city of Reykjavík. The bus system, operated by Straeto hf., connects various neighborhoods within Reykjavík and also serves surrounding towns and communities.

The strætisvagna network is a vital part of the Icelandic transportation infrastructure, offering an eco-friendly alternative to private car use. Routes are designed to serve residential areas, commercial centers, schools, and major attractions. Tickets can typically be purchased through a mobile app, at designated ticket machines, or directly from the driver on some routes, though purchasing in advance is often recommended.

Using the strætisvagna allows residents and tourists alike to navigate Iceland's urban and suburban areas efficiently. The service frequency varies depending on the route and time of day, with more frequent services on main routes during peak hours. Information regarding routes, schedules, and fares is readily available on the Straeto website and through their mobile application.
