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 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.
