On the weekend of August 25-27, 2023, a night bus will start driving to Mosfellsbær on route 106.
Mosfellsbær made a service contract with Strætó for this service for the residents of Mosfellsbær and pays all costs for the driving within the municipality. A single fare on the night is the same amount as double fare but customers with 30 day and 1 year’s bus cards can use them on night buses.
Route 106 has so far ended its trip in Grafarvogur at night but will now head into Mosfellsbær and end its route there. The departure times have therefore changed, and the bus departs now from Lækjartorg B at 1:30, 2:35 and 3:40.

Route 52 during "Þjóðhátíð"

Strætó and Blindrafélagið signed a cooperation agreement between them on July 5th regarding the installation of NaviLens codes at all bus stops and buses in the capital area. This is a complete revolution for the blind and visually impaired in access to information about bus trips in real time, undoubtedly the biggest since an audio system was installed in the buses over 10 years ago, which specifies where the bus will stop next.
The codes will also be placed on the buses themselves and this will help the blind and visually impaired to know which bus it is and in which direction it is going without having to rely on the help of others.
Strætó will lead the project and Strætó will own and be responsible for the codes, but the Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Market and the Minister of Infrastructure signed an agreement with Blindrafélagið at the beginning of the year for the joint project between the organization and Strætó on the implementation of the codes and provided a grant of ISK 2,000,000. each.
A project of this magnitude will only succeed with the joint effort of all parties involved in the operation of bus stops and buses, and everyone has offered their assistance to implement the codes.
Hlynur Þór Agnarsson, a consultant from Blindrafélagið who is involved in the project, says that the NaviLens solution is both exciting and an appropriate step in improving the access of the blind and visually impaired to information about the arrival time of Strætó buses. &#8222;I am happy with the foresight shown by Strætó because I have no doubt that in a few years such codes will be established in many more places, which will improve the access of the blind and visually impaired to information in the environment and significantly increase their independence. This is the first time in Iceland that information in public transport in environmental sign is accessible to those who cannot read it.
Jóhannes S. Rúnarsson, CEO of Strætó, said at the signing that he was proud that Strætó was part of a project as important as greatly improving accessibility for the blind and visually impaired in Strætó. It would be a revolution in accessibility, but the board of Strætó set a policy for improved accessibility for everyone, and this is the first phase of that journey.

NaviLens codes work in a similar way to QR codes. However, NaviLens codes can be detected from 12 times greater distance than QR codes. Also, NaviLens tags work better in low light and can use the entire field of view of smart device cameras to detect them, unlike QR codes which require more precision.
Users then use the NaviLens app to get information about the location and distance from the code as well as the information it contains. In this way, NaviLens works both to locate bus stops and to provide information about which routes run there and how far it is to the next bus in real time. The codes work the same way on the buses themselves, locating them, reporting which route it is and in which direction the bus is going.
Nevertheless, the codes can be used by anyone because sighted people can use the app NaviLens GO to call up the same real-time information quickly and easily. Also, NaviLens automatically translates information into over 33 different languages and does so automatically depending on which language each smart device is set to. This makes the app a good choice for people who do not have Icelandic as their first language and tourists. The potential user group also expands significantly if you consider those who have difficulty reading, such as e.g. dyslexia and those who have difficulty reading timetables.

What are NaviLens codes? 

A revolution for blind and visually impaired users of Strætó

On July 1st, a new price list of Strætó will take effect. Prices for single tickets increases by 3.6% and period passes 3.3%. A single fare ticket goes from 550 kr. to 570 kr. and a 30-day card for students, young people and elderly goes from 4500 kr. to 4650 kr.
According to Strætó&#8217;s price policy, the plan is to review prices twice a year, but the prices were last increased on October 1st, 2022. Since that time, the consumer price index has risen by 5.2% and the Strætó index by 3.5%. The board of Strætó therefore approved new prices at the meeting of the Strætó´s board on May 19.
The aim of the price policy was and is to ensure that the prices go hand in hand with the operating costs of Strætó, and also that the prices change in line with the Strætó index. The Strætó index includes wages, oil, consumer price index, maintenance, and repairs (consumer price sub-index) and spare parts (consumer price sub-index).
Changes in price list for the countryside by Vegagerðin
Vegagerðin (Icelandic Road Administration) has decided to raise its own prices at the same time as Strætó. In an announcement from Vegagerðin, the increase amounts to 16.3% and the single fare will go from 490 kr. to 570 kr.  Period cards and student cards will remain unchanged and will not increase at this time. For example, a trip from Reykjavík to Akureyri goes from 10780 kr. to 12540 kr. and a trip from Reykjavík to Keflavík from 1960 kr. to 2280 kr. <a href="https://www.vegagerdin.is/upplysingar-og-utgafa/frettir/gjaldskrarbreyting-i-landsbyggdarstraeto-og-straeto-appi-lokad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can see Vegagerðin´s announcement here in Icelandic.</a>

Changes in price list at Strætó

The decision has been made to close the old Strætó app on July 1. All functionality related to the route system or tickets for the capital area is now in Klappið as well as other innovations. Most people have already moved to the new app as it has more options for customers.
Only one activity is not possible, that is to shop for rural tickets in Klappið. Customers will continue to be able to pay with cash and get change from the drivers or pay with a payment card on board the buses, and most people buy tickets that way. Ticket sales in the app averaged only 3% of all fares sold in the countryside. Vegagerðin runs and is responsible for buses in the countryside and is now considering adding more payment options for customers in the countryside. All prices for the countryside can be seen in &#8222;Route planner&#8220; in Klappið and on straeto.is
In Klappið and on straeto.is it is possible to plan trips, see buses on live map and see prices for both the capital area and the countryside among other things.

Customers who have tickets in the old Strætó app 
Tickets for the capital area, not older than 4 years, can be transferred to Klappið at the request of customers.
Customers can request a refund on tickets for the countryside if they are not older than 4 years.
Those who still have tickets in the old Strætó app are kindly asked to contact Strætó by sending an email to <a href="mailto:straeto@straeto.is">endurgreidslur@straeto.is</a>with information about the phone number and, in the case of tickets in the countryside, which part of the country the ticket is valid for.

Klappið replaces the Strætó app

Strætó´s service on Saturday 17 June will be unchanged, i.e. according to Saturday schedule, both in the capital area and in the countryside.

Strætó's schedule on Ascension day May 18th

The route planner has been updated which will greatly improve the user experience and make the display of the search clearer. The update is both on the web and the app Klappið. Users need to update their app to get the improved route planner. 
Now you can see prices for adults when traveling both in the capital area and in the countryside. The presentation of search results is clearer, e.g. what part of the total travel time is on foot and how much time is spent on the bus. In the search results, an overview of the bus stops that are passed before the customer arrives at the end stop will be displayed. This will make it easier for new and/or inexperienced bus users to travel by bus/Strætó.
Also, alerts such as the closing of a bus stop or a delay in a trip is more noticeable, and now search results do not disappear when you go between screens in the app.
&nbsp;
Search on the Strætó Web Site
Now you can also search the Strætó website, which will make it much easier for customers to search for information on the web. You can search for stops, route number, rules, and prices for example.

Strætó reception

Strætó's schedule over Easter 2023

The payment system Klappið got a special recognition at the event Transport Ticketing Global this week. The event is the world’s leading and largest smart ticketing event for public transport. This year it was held at Olympia London on 7-8 March. See: <a href="https://www.transport-ticketing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.transport-ticketing.com/</a>
Strætó´s new payment system was among seven nominated and got a special award – Highly Commended – in the category Best Smart Ticketing Programme for less than 200k daily journeys. The purpose is to acknowledge innovative solutions and recognises a public transport operator or public transport authority and their technology partner(s) that have launched a successful smart ticketing programme in the last 2 years.
&#8222;This recognition is particularly pleasing because the judges are the world&#8217;s leading experts in this field and more nominations have never been submitted. It shows us that we are on the right path and encourages us to continue the long journey of making the Strætó payment system a great solution for both passengers and all those who work to make public transport a good option for people on the move. After all, there are particularly exciting innovations expected &#8211; among other things, contactless payment, and capping,&#8220; says Daði Áslaugarson, Head of IT at Strætó.
Klappið was launched on November 16, 2021, and then, customers could scan their tickets with an app, a Klapp card or a paper card on board buses, as well as making it easier for passengers to purchase products, access discounts and have an overview of their use of My Pages. In terms of user privacy, the system is more secure than previous solutions and offers great potential for future development.
The staff of Strætó are grateful for the recognition and are determined to continue making Klappið best as possible for Strætó&#8217;s customers.

Klappið gets an international award

Since Strætó&#8217;s new payment system, Klappið, was put into use over a year ago, close to half a million accesses have been activated and daily scans are tens of thousands.
Activated user accesses that are open in the Klapp system today are 473,888 based on numbers from February 6, both authenticated and anonymous accesses.
Since the system was put into use, on 16 Nov. 2021, 537,429 accesses have been registered and confirmed in the system, of which 63,541 have been deleted, e.g., duplicate registrations or anonymous or authenticated accesses deleted after use.
Daily use in Klapp
Klapp fares are scanned successfully 33,000 times on average per day on weekdays.
JANUARY 2023

On schedule 
Strætó decided to launch a new payment system with FARA, an international company that has experience in setting up similar payment systems for companies in public transport. It was clear from the beginning that the system was based on a certain foundation and needed to be adjusted to the needs of Strætó and its customers. In the beginning, certain problems needed to be addressed. The system is in constant development, as the needs of Strætó&#8217;s customers are always in priority. In the coming months we will be announcing new features and updates which is exciting. Strætó is happy to report that the project met the initial budget, but a tender was put out according to public procurement in the EEA region.
System uptime over 99.99% 
Unfortunately, the payment system has been down for some time several times and customers have not been able to use it, for example to buy tickets or scan tickets on board the buses. In the last six months (August – January), the system has gone down six times, from almost 30 minutes to two hours. The exception to this was last October 18 when customers could not buy new products, which lasted for over ten hours, it was over night which explains the long time. Despite that, the uptime is very good, or over 99.99%.
Foreign card turnover is highest during the summer 
The Klapp payment system supports the acceptance of foreign payment cards and foreign Visa and MasterCard cards can be registered if they have 3D Secure, the same applies to domestic cards. Percentage of foreign card turnover in the total card turnover in the Klapp system is highest during the summer months, but every month foreign card turnover is on average about 13% of the total card turnover in the Klapp system. It is likely that this number will increase when contactless payments are implemented, as a lot of single trips are purchased by tourists visiting Iceland.

33,000 daily scans in Klapp

February 24, a new timetable will take effect on route 29 which is a pre-order service. Times are both delayed or moved earlier to achieve a better connection with route 15 and 7. At the same time, the frequency is increased, so there are five trips a day from morning to evening instead of three from the middle of the day.
From February 24 there will also be a change to booking trips, where passengers will call the Strætó customer service at 540-2740 to book a trip.

Increased frequency and better connection on route 29

Night buses will start driving within the city of Reykjavík next weekend according to schedule.
The Reykjavík city has made a service contract with Strætó bs to start running night buses only within the city. Night buses will drive from the city center of Reykjavík according to timetable.
With this, the city is responding to a call for improved transportation in the city center on weekends, but no agreement was reached in the Strætó board to resume running the night bus. The City of Reykjavík therefore presented a proposition to the Strætó board that Strætó provide services for the city&#8217;s residents and offer a night bus that drives only in Reykjavík. The Strætó Board approved this proposition, but all costs for the service will be paid by Reykjavík city.<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12850" src="https://wp.straeto.is/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kort-naetur.jpg" alt="" width="1639" height="834" srcset="https://wp.straeto.is/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kort-naetur.jpg 1639w, https://wp.straeto.is/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kort-naetur-300x153.jpg 300w, https://wp.straeto.is/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kort-naetur-768x391.jpg 768w, https://wp.straeto.is/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/kort-naetur-1536x782.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1639px) 100vw, 1639px" />
&nbsp;

Four night routes will drive from the Reykjavík city center and to various neighbourhoods in Reykjavík city; Breiðholt, Úlfarsárdalur, Norðlingaholt and Grafarvogur.
<ul>
<li>Night buses will drive from Reykjavík city center on Friday- and Saturday nights</li>
<li>You can only use night buses on routes from the city center. Not towards the city center.</li>
<li>Buses do not drive according to a traditional timetable. Strætó only publishes the departure time from the city center and buses drive to their destinations as quickly as possible.</li>
<li>Customers that want to catch the night buses outside the city center are advised to follow the buses real time location in the Klapp app or on straeto.is.</li>
</ul>
Fares on night buses
A single fare on the night bus is 1100 kr. that is the same amount as double fare. Customers can buy special night tickets in the Klapp payment system, as before customers with 30 day and 1 year’s bus cards can use them on night buses. It will not be possible to pay with a payment card as you can buy a night ticket in the Klapp. You can also pay with cash.

Night buses return in Reykjavík city

The strike by drivers in oil distribution in the capital area will not affect the services of Strætó, as an exemption has been granted for the distribution of oil for both the buses of Strætó and contractors that drive for Strætó.
The bus routes within the capital area and in the countryside will therefore remain unchanged.

The service of Strætó will not be affected

Strætó´s passenger numbers continue to grow and for the second month in a row there was a record number of boardings since regular measurements began. In January 2023 there were more than 1.119.000 boardings within the Capital Area which is the highest number measured in January since regular measurements began. There were almost 7% more boardings in January this year than in January 2019 and almost 4% more than in January 2020, which was the previous January record.
Last December there were almost 980.000 boardings, which was also a December record since regular measurements began.
The number of Strætó´s passengers decreased during the Covid pandemic, but now passenger numbers are increasing again.
The graph shows the development of recent years.
