About Brakar

Brakar acts as the governing body for public transportation in Buskerud, within Viken. The company was formally established on October 26, 2009, and started regular operations on July 1, 2010. Our main purpose is to facilitate and provide passenger transport and school transport services, offer information about the services, and provide related services.

We aim to be a mobility provider that seamlessly links the customer’s entire travel journey, enabling smooth transitions between various transportation modes and across county borders.

An essential objective for Brakar is to increase the number of public transportation users. We primarily do not operate the bus services ourselves but procure these from external transport providers.

Our vision: Journeys for the benefit of people, society, and the environment.

We aim to facilitate people’s ability to travel where they want and support the sustainability of local communities – all while minimising our environmental impact.
