The shuttle service will be free of charge, as will bus services when the city centre is cleared after the fireworks.
Strætó buses will run more frequently throughout the day, with regular fares applying.
Due to street closures, BSÍ will be the end stop for most routes downtown during the day – until around 15:00.

You can check the frequencies in the timetables for these routes below August 22.
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 Klappið on straeto.is.is

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 municipalities.
General fare applies.
Buses will depart from Skúlagata starting at 23:20 and will follow the same routes as the „clearing routes,“ but in one direction only. Buses can only be taken from the city centre out to the surrounding municipalites/neighbourhoods.
Buses will run every 30 minutes. The last departure from downtown is at 00:50.
You can search for these trips in the Route planner.
Please look at the real-time map.
