The aim of the changes is to create a more reliable and efficient public transport system through stable funding and continued improvements.
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.
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’ rights or the services they receive.
Customers do not need to take any action because of these changes.
