From January 1, 2026, it will not be possible to use fares between the Klapp payment system in the capital area and Vegagerðin payment system, which owns and operates buses in the countryside. This means that a fare paid in one system cannot be used to pay for travel in the other.
- Strætó bs. operates public transport in the capital area and uses the Klapp payment system.
- Vegagerðin (IRCA) owns and operates the provincial buses and has its own payment system. Strætó provides certain information and services for passengers. Passengers pay their fare on board the buses with cash, credit card or a rural bus card.
We advise passengers to familiarize themselves with the fare terms and payment arrangements. This change is made to clarify the implementation and ensure a clear separation of the payment systems according to current rules.
