Strætó service on Reykjavík Culture Night 2026

Strætó has increased services on the capital area’s busiest route. The additional services are intended to accommodate the significant increase in passenger numbers that typically comes with the start of the school year, when most people have returned to work after their summer holidays.
Three additional buses will be added to route 1 from Hafnarfjörður on weekday mornings, bringing the total number of additional buses on the route to five, with two already in service. Route 1 is the busiest route in the capital area throughout the year, but experience shows that passenger numbers increase significantly in the autumn. This also means that buses are often very crowded and may even reach capacity.
With more buses in service, the likelihood of overcrowding will be significantly reduced, while the frequency of departures will remain unchanged at every 10 minutes during peak hours.

Strætó increases services ahead of the autumn rush

New schedules for routes 78, 79 and 56 will take effect on Monday, August 17.
Main changes are:
<ul>
<li>Route 56: On weekdays, the departure from Akureyri will be moved earlier due to the bridge construction on Jökulsá á Fjöllum. Delays can be expected on the route due to the construction work from August 17 through August 31. The winter schedule is estimated to start in the beginning of September.</li>
<li>The bus on route 56 from Akureyri Airport will depart at 2:53 PM instead of 4:35 PM.</li>
<li>Route 79: On weekday morning services, the bus will first stop at Akureyri airport, then continue to VMA, MA and HA. Hof in Akureyri will also become the route&#8217;s starting and ending point instead of the airport.</li>
<li>Route 79: The arrival in Húsavík on the second weekday trip will be later to match the departure time from Akureyri.</li>
<li>Routes 79 and 78: The first route 79 service on Sundays, as well as the Sunday service on route 78, will depart earlier.</li>
</ul>

Changed Schedule for Routes 56, 78 and 79

Strætó took part in the Reykjavík Pride Parade, as in previous years, and it’s safe to say that joy was everywhere.
When designing this year’s Pride Bus, we decided to celebrate the rainbow, inspired by this year’s Pride slogan: United under the rainbow. The bus was decorated from top to bottom in the colours of the rainbow and certainly stood out in the parade. The advertising agency Hér&amp;Nú designed the Pride Bus, creating a colourful and eye-catching result.
For the second year in a row, Strætó invited neurodivergent people to join the Pride Parade on board the Pride Bus. This gave them the opportunity to take part in the celebrations from a calmer and more comfortable space, helping to reduce sensory overload.
At Strætó, we are all on different journeys, but all together we can travel in the same direction – towards a more equal, diverse and caring society.
Congratulations to Reykjavík Pride on a fantastic festival and a big thank you to everyone who joined us and celebrated a wonderful day.

Solidarity and Celebrations at the Pride Parade

On 12 August, a total solar eclipse will be visible from several locations in Iceland. Large numbers of people are expected to travel to the path of totality to experience this unique natural event, and increased traffic is therefore expected across many parts of the country.
Although Strætó services will operate as scheduled, heavy traffic may affect journey times. Passengers are encouraged to monitor <a href="https://www.straeto.is/en/route-planner/status-of-trips">Route alerts</a> throughout the day and allow extra time for their journeys.

You can pay your fare on board all buses – using contactless payment in the Capital Area and a payment card on regional services.

The Icelandic authorities encourage people who live within the path of totality to enjoy the eclipse close to home, helping to reduce pressure on the road network and other infrastructure. Those planning to travel should prepare well, depart early, and expect longer journey times than usual.

<ul>
<li>Debit or credit cards</li>
<li>Regional travel cards</li>

Solar Eclipse on 12 August – Information about Strætó Services

Strætó passengers can now enjoy more accurate real-time arrival information thanks to a system update and improved integration between the platforms that provide real-time data. The same information is now on bus stop displays, in the Klapp app, on the Strætó website, and in Google Maps and Apple Maps.
With this update, arrival predictions take more factors into account than before, including detours that may affect bus journeys. This provides passengers with more accurate and reliable information about when the next bus will arrive.
Improving real-time information is part of Strætó’s ongoing efforts to enhance the passenger experience. Over the past months, several new features have been introduced to make public transport more accessible and reliable. Passengers can now also pay for their journeys contactless on board using a payment card, Google Pay or Apple Pay, and plan their trips using popular navigation apps such as Google Maps and Apple Maps.
