Oslobuss has secured a new contract to deliver rail replacement bus services for Norwegian rail operator Flytoget, extending a working relationship that has run continuously since 2019. The agreement, which takes effect in 2027, requires at least 50% of services to be operated by zero-emission vehicles.
The contract carries an initial one-year term, with a five-year extension option that Vy may exercise following its acquisition of Flytoget. Services will be delivered at “Service Excellence” standard, encompassing planned disruptions and emergency deployments.
Oslobuss joined the Nobina Group in 2025 as part of a strategy to develop the Swedish operator’s commercial bus presence in Norway and across Nordic markets. The renewal represents an early test of that integration’s commercial value, with the zero-emission requirement also furthering Nobina’s sustainability ambitions.
In a statement, Fredrik Eijerstam, Chief Executive of Oslobuss, said: “We are incredibly proud and pleased to have earned Flytoget’s renewed confidence. Flytoget is recognized as one of Norway’s most quality-focused transport operators, serving passengers who expect the very highest standards of punctuality and service. Their decision to extend the partnership is a strong endorsement of the quality and reliability we deliver every day.”
Eijerstam added: “As part of the Nobina Group, we have gained a completely new level of financial strength, operational capacity and access to resources. This allows us to combine the local flexibility and customer focus that Oslobuss has always been known for with Nobina’s extensive expertise in passenger transport.”
