Due to changes in the operation of public transport services in the Capital Region, Almenningssamgöngur höfuðborgarsvæðisins ohf. (ASHB) will assume responsibility for the operation of Klapp payment system from Strætó bs. on 1 July 2026.
As a result, personal data relating to Klapp users will be transferred from Strætó to ASHB in order to ensure the continued provision of the service, including users&#8217; access to their accounts, tickets and subscriptions within Klapp. Following the transfer, ASHB will become the data controller of the personal data processing carried out within Klapp.
This change will not affect the use of Klapp or customer services.
The transfer of personal data is necessary to ensure continuity of service for users, including continued access to valid tickets, subscriptions and user accounts. The transfer is based on the legitimate interests of Strætó and ASHB, pursuant to Article 9(6) of Act No. 90/2018 on Data Protection and the Processing of Personal Data (corresponding to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Users have the right to object to processing that is based on legitimate interests. Any objection must be submitted to <a href="mailto:personuvernd@straeto.is">personuvernd@straeto.is</a> no later than 28 June 2026. Any objections received will be handled in accordance with documented procedures.

Reception Relocating to Hafnarstræti 7

From 1 July 2026, changes will take effect in the operation of public transport in the Capital Area. A new company, Almenningssamgöngur höfuðborgarsvæðisins ohf. (ASHB), will take responsibility for planning and managing public transport services. 
The changes are part of the continued development of public transport under the Transport Agreement for the Capital Area (Samgöngusáttmálinn). Their aim is to create a more reliable and efficient public transport system for the future. 
Under the new arrangement, planning and service management will be separated from the day-to-day operation of buses. The state will also become a funding partner. This will provide additional funding to improve public transport and support more convenient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly travel.<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> 
There will be no changes for customers in their day-to day use of the service. All tickets will remain valid, payment methods will stay the same, and travel and service information will continue to be available through the same channels as before. 
The reception desk will move to new premises at Hafnarstræti 7, Reykjavík. Further information about the relocation and opening hours will be published shortly. 
As part of these changes, responsibility for processing customer personal data related to payment services will transfer from Strætó bs. to ASHB. More information will be published before the changes take effect. This transfer will not affect customers&#8217; rights or the services they receive. 
Customers do not need to take any action because of these changes.

Strætó schedule over Pentecost (Hvítasunna)

The City of Reykjavík is offering free two-month Strætó passes to children born 2010 &#8211; 2014 who have legal residence in Reykjavík.
The project is part of the city’s work to improve access to public transport for children and teenagers, support more independent travel, and reduce the need for parents to drive children to school, sports, and leisure activities.
Parents and guardians can apply for the free two-month subscription through My Pages on the website of Reykjavík City from 18 May until 30 June 2026.
Children who already have an active Strætó pass can also get two extra months added to their Klapp access, but it must be applied for through the same application form on My Pages on the website of Reykjavík City.
This initiative is managed by the City of Reykjavík, who will publish more information on its website. Parents and guardians of children in this age group will also receive a notification from island.is on 18 May with a link to the application form.

Strætó schedule on the First day of Summer 2026

Strætó is joining the global celebration for the first ever World Public Transport Day on 17 April 2026. The day is a global initiative led by , the International Association of Public Transport, highlighting the importance of public transport for everyday life, communities, and the environment. On this occasion, Strætó will encourage people and passengers to share their experiences using different modes of transport.
The aim is to celebrate the role public transport plays – getting people from place to place, to work, school, and leisure – and to recognise the people who make it all possible. This year’s theme is: One Day. Millions of Journeys.
Public transport plays a key role in building greener and more efficient cities. It reduces traffic and improves air quality. Every day, millions of journeys are made by public transport around the world.
In recent years, Strætó has taken important steps towards more sustainable operations by investing in electric buses, with the goal of achieving a fully carbon-neutral fleet by the end of 2029.
This is a great opportunity to pause and reflect on the role public transport plays in our daily lives – and in keeping our communities moving.

Strætó’s sustainability report for 2025 has been published and was presented at the company’s annual meeting, held on Thursday, 26 March. The report contains a wide range of information on Strætó’s operations, including fleet status, services within the route network, technological innovations, and greenhouse gas emissions. The report was prepared with reference to the international GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standard.
At the annual meeting, Alexandra Briem, Chair of the Board, presented the board’s report, and Elísa Kristmannsdóttir, head of finance, presented the company’s financial statements. Finally, Jóhannes Rúnarsson, CEO of Strætó, outlined the company’s key priorities in sustainability and environmental matters.

A new timetable will take effect on Route 19 this coming Sunday, 29 March. Departure times will change, while the route itself remains the same. Service frequency will also remain unchanged: every 15 minutes during peak hours on weekdays and every 30 minutes outside peak hours and during weekends.

Changed timetable for Route 19

The installation of NaviLens codes at Strætó bus stops has begun, with the first routes 13 and 14—already accessible to blind and visually impaired passengers.
Using NaviLens codes, blind and visually impaired users can independently access information on routes and arrival times without assistance. Through a mobile app, real-time travel information is read aloud, enabling fully independent use. The solution also benefits other passengers, including tourists and people whose first language is not Icelandic.
The project is a collaboration between Strætó and the Icelandic Association of the Visually Impaired, marking a significant step forward in accessibility in public transport. Strætó leads the project and owns and is responsible for the codes, while the Association received government grants from the Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Market and the Minister of Infrastructure for the initial implementation.
The City of Reykjavík has supported the project from the beginning, both in planning and execution, with city staff handling the installation of codes on shelters and poles. Síminn/Billboard has also provided invaluable support by installing codes on all shelters under its management.
In the coming months, installation will expand to additional routes and stops, both in Reykjavík and later in other municipalities.

NaviLens codes function similarly to QR codes but offer several advantages:
<ul>
<li>They can be detected from up to 12 times greater distances than QR codes.</li>
<li>They work in low-light conditions and require less precise camera alignment.</li>
<li>They provide information about stop locations, routes serving the stop, and real-time arrival of the next bus.</li>
</ul>

What are NaviLens codes?

Who benefits from the solution?
<ul>
<li>Blind and visually impaired users can independently access route and arrival information without relying on others.</li>
<li>Sighted users can use the NaviLens GO app to access the same real-time information easily.</li>
<li>Tourists and non-Icelandic speakers receive information automatically in their device language. The app supports over 33 languages.</li>
<li>People with reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, can benefit from audio playback of information within the app.</li>
</ul>

Major step forward in Strætó’s passenger information
