The municipalities in the capital area make decisions about the route system in consultation with Strætó. When planning the Strætó route system, we strive to utilize resources in the most efficient way that servea as many people as possible.
The Strætó route system consists of 27 routes in the capital area and 18 routes outside the capital area. The Icelandic Road and Coastal administration finances and plans Strætó outside of the capital area.
