Strætó service on Reykjavík Culture Night

Here you can see information about Strætó´s service on Reykjavík Culture Night.


There will be some closed streets in the city center when Culture Night takes place there on Saturday. You have to pay a general fare on the bus and a night fare on the night bus, which starts around 1.00 a.m. but customers with 30 day and 1 year’s bus cards can use them on board Night buses.

Route 1:

  • will drive in 15 min. frequency from approx. at 7 – 10
  • will drive in 10 min. frequency from approx. at 10 – 18
  • will drive in 15 min. frequency from 18 – 21:30 (until transport from the city center begins)

Routes 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15:

  • will drive in 15 min. frequency from 7/8 – 18

We ask customers to familiarize themselves with the Strætó schedule in the route planner and find a trip, before taking the bus on Culture Night, as trips times may be different than usual due to increased frequency and closed streets in the city. Buses may have to take an unconventional route due to street closures and can shange during the day. You can see detours under Route alerts – Please look at the live map at Klappiðr on straeto.is.is

 

You can pay in four different ways in Strætó in the capital area, with:

  • Contactless payment
  • The app Klappið in your phone
  • Refillabe Klapp card
  • Klapp ten

The route system will run again in a modified form

As the event schedule ends earlier than in recent years, the route system will be reintroduced in a significantly altered form to accommodate passengers who need to travel between neighborhoods.

General fare applies.

Buses will depart from Skúlagata starting at 22:20 and will follow the same routes as the „clearing routes,“ running in both directions. That means passengers can also take the bus into downtown.

Buses will run every 30 minutes.
The last departure from downtown is at 00:50.
The last departures toward downtown are as follows:

101 Hafnarfjörður – from Skarðshlíð at 00:20
