Frequently Asked Questions

Who is entitled to free school transport?

There are different rules depending on whether you are a student in primary school or in secondary education. Those entitled to transport in primary school are:

Pupils in grade 1 who live more than 2 kilometers from the school
Pupils in grades 2–10 who live more than 4 kilometers from the school
Pupils who have a particularly dangerous or difficult route to school
Pupils with special needs documented with a doctor’s certificate/expert opinion

Those entitled to transport in upper secondary education are:

Students who live more than 6 kilometers from their school and reside outside the dispensation area.
Students with special needs documented with a doctor’s certificate/expert opinion

Note that the distance is measured as the shortest walkable route between home and school, not the driving route or the bus route. If the student or parents disagree with the measurement, they can appeal. If there are errors in this measurement, please contact skoleskyss@brakar.no.

How to apply for school transport?

In primary school, the schools apply on behalf of the pupils. In upper secondary school (high school), the students themselves apply through the Student Portal. Students applying for transport due to medical reasons should apply through the school. Decisions on school transport are individual decisions according to the Norwegian Public Administration Act. The decision on school transport is valid for one school year at a time. You must reapply before each school year, and a new decision will be made.

Why do I have to submit a new medical certificate every school year?

If a student has shared residence, are they entitled to school transport from both addresses?

Children whose parents do not live together are entitled to transport between home and school to/from both parents' home addresses when the parents have shared daily care. It is assumed that the child meets the transport requirement for the address to which transport is applied. There should be predictability in where the child lives so that it is possible to plan the transport, for example, every other week or two weeks at a time with each of the parents. Furthermore, it must be possible to organize a rational transport in terms of travel time and economy. If this is not possible, the student will be denied school transport.

Why do I not get school transport to high school even though I live more than 6 kilometers from the school?

I am resident in Buskerud and attend high school in Akershus/Oslo. How do I apply for school transport?

Which other ticket should I choose if I am not entitled to school transport?

How do you get a school card, and what do you do if you forget/lose it?

Students entitled to free school transport receive an electronic school card. They receive this at the school they attend. The card can be used for 2 journeys per school day with any transfers according to regular transfer rules. One journey to school and one journey to the residence. If the student chooses to go home with a friend after school within the zone, it is okay to use the card, but it depends on capacity. The card can be used between 06:00 and 17:00 (departure time of the bus). The card is not valid for travel on weekends and school holidays. The card is personal and cannot be lent to others.

Forgotten school card:

Pupils who have forgotten their school card should be allowed to travel by bus to school on the first day. For the return journey from school, the student must show a temporary travel permit issued by the school.

Lost/damaged school card:

If you have lost or damaged the school card, you will need to notify the school immediately so that a new card can be issued. The school will issue a temporary travel permit. You should normally receive a new card within two weeks. Pupils who have lost or damaged their school card should be allowed to travel by bus to school on the first day. For the return journey from school, the pupil must show a temporary travel permit.

For students in high school:

The school card is free of charge when issued for the first time. When ordering a new school card for students in high school, a fee of 250 NOK per card is imposed. The fee must be paid before the new card is issued. For more information, please contact the administration at your school.

What happens if the student becomes sick during the school day?

Students who use the bus to get to school and need to go home during the school day can use their school card on another bus departure. For students who travel by taxi, alternative transportation must be arranged by the parents/guardians. The timing of the taxi transport cannot be changed, it can only be cancelled. Please inform the taxi that the return transport is cancelled if the parents/guardians pick up the student during the day.

School Transport by Taxi

Can students get a taxi by themselves when the school transport is provided by taxi?

Due to capacity and environmental considerations, carpooling is standard for school transport by taxi. If there is a risk that the student may harm other passengers or the driver, or if there are other significant medical reasons why the student cannot share a taxi with other students, a medical certificate stating the reason must be provided. In such cases, it will be considered providing a companion or making other adjustments. Providing a taxi alone is an exception in very special cases.

Why does the taxi leave before the student is ready in the morning?

School transport by taxi is based on a fixed schedule. The student must be ready at the agreed time and location. The taxi usually does not pick up the student directly from home. The student will be picked up or dropped off at the nearest designated stop or meeting place. If a student has a special need for door-to-door transport for medical reasons, documentation of this must be included with the application for school transport.

How do you cancel the taxi?

Can the taxi pick up at a different time than usual, or take the student to a different address after school?

School transport is only provided to fit regular school start and end times. Parents/guardians must arrange transportation for extracurricular activities, library visits, medical appointments, and similar activities. The student, parents/guardians, or the school cannot change the scheduled transport time; they can only cancel it. School transport is only provided between the student's home and the school, and therefore, the student will not have school transport by taxi covered to other addresses.
