Will Vy146 bus Allow a Bike
Hello All!
I will be flying into Oslo on September 4th and renting a gravel bike. I have a cabin rented in Nordberg, just east of Grotli. The Vy146 bus travels there, but I am unable to purchase a ticket for the bike. Does anyone know how likely it is that the driver will allow my to bring the bike? If not, what alternatives do I have to get the bike to Nordberg? Thank you in advance!

VY 146 isn’t one of the lines that officially allows bike bookings, you won’t be able to reserve a spot for it. Bringing it unannounced is at the driver’s discretion, and on long routes that usually means “no” if space is tight. Your best option is to box or bag the bike so it counts as regular luggage (paying a small extra fee if required) and store it in the luggage compartment. Alternatively, you could ask to have the rental shop ship it ahead using a courier, or book a taxi from the nearest train hub like Otta. All very expensive. Cycling from Otta is your best option, or renting a car if you have extra luggage. Use entur.no for all public transport options in Norway that will provide local buses that allow bikes on board.

All great information, thank you so much! I will plan to rent a vehicle which will allow me a lot of extra flexibility.
