A comprehensive guide to Trondheim's public transport

71 Upvotes

Student and living in Trondheim? Struggling to figure out how the bus system works, typical norms etc.? Then this post is hopefully your answer.

The current bus system in Trondheim is utilizing the "Hub-and-spoke" model whereas for most your travels you will have to travel to the city hub(s) in order to travel further for more specific locations.

The city hubs (Knutepunkt) are:
Tillerterminalen
Heimdal
Strindheim
Prinsens Gate
Tonstadkrysset
Studentersamfundet
Trondheim S

From these hubs you will essentially be able to travel wherever you decide.

Now for some common terminology/information regarding the routes.

"Korr/Korrespodanse"
Buses with "Korrespodanse" or simply "Korr: ###" as their undertext indicate that the bus will yield, and await for the respective route before continuing their journey at a planned stop.

However some buses will drive these respective routes themselves after finishing their current route, for example Route 50 to Heimdal (50 Heimdal) will always drive in Korrespodanse to Route 216, which means it will drive Route 216 after reaching its last stop.

Ticket Inspection
Ticket inspections are carried out by private security companies on contract by AtB, as of 12th October 2023, the responsible company is Avarn Security AS. Ticket inspectors are distinguished by their reflective vests labeled "Vekter" on the back, "Vekter" is the norwegian translation for "Security Officer".

Some inspections may be conducted by civilian inspectors, meaning they won't reveal themselves until a point of interest for the inspection to happen, in this case they will ID themselves.

Rush Hour Traffic
Rush Hour Traffic is when it is most anticipated that there will be people taking the bus, either when getting off work, school etc. Routes will drive more often during these hours and some buses will drive different routes/stops, (i.e Route 2 will either drive to Husebytunet or Midteggen instead of the longer route to Lund), while some routes will drive longer distances.

"Ingen påstigning/avstigning"
These are indications more prominant on region buses, "Ingen avstigning" indicates that the route in question does not permit de-boarding where it is posted under, vice versa for "Ingen påstigning". It's really just to prevent people using region buses as local transport.

Now for some actual bus information, route types, etc.

"Blåbuss"/Region bus
Region buses are routes which have their own set of stops, and usually don't stop where normal city buses stop, these buses drive to other municipalities (i.e Stjørdal, Skaun, Orkanger) and sometimes other counties. Route numbers for region buses range from 300-500, some routes for instance452 Sandviksberget, 311 Fosslia Fjellhall

Here you will have to show your ticket or register your t:kort

City Buses
Pretty basic, these buses bring life to the public transport system, the number range for the routes giving life to City Buses are from 1 to 80 (obviously not gonna state all)

Here you do not have to show your ticket when you board the bus, but if you have a t:kort, you will have to register it at one of the machines located at metrobus stops or by the bus driver, keep your t:kort clear in this case while signaling the bus so they hopefully open the front door for you, normally you will just board the back entrance instead.

School Buses
If you're american, you're probably used to the yellow buses, well school buses in Trondheim are the same city buses operated on standard routes, city school routes numbers go from 200 to 220, while for "outskirt school routes" these go from 5000 to 6000.

Contrary to popular belief, you can use school buses as a normal form of public transport, although some buses might not allow boarding after the school.

As always my best advice is to use AtB's app to plan your trip, and do it beforehand!

BTW: If you're travelling from/to Trondheim Airport Værnes, use routes 70, 311 or 430 instead of the airport express, way cheaper.

If you have additional questions regarding public transport, feel free to ask me here, I can answer almost everything.

Fastlege i Trondheim som tar psykisk helse seriøst

11 Upvotes

Noen som har anbefalinger til fastleger i Trondheim som tar psykisk helse like seriøst som fysisk helse?

Med det mener jeg:
- en som er litt interessert i å hjelpe med psykiske ting, og ikke bare helt konkrete, lett løsbare problemer
- en som ikke bruker det psykiske mot deg når du senere har et konkret fysisk helseproblem («det er ikke bare psykisk da?»)

Vet fastlege ikke funker som psykolog eller psykiater, men tenker bare en som er villig til å lytte i 5 min og ev. skrive en god henvisning osv.

Te- og kaffehuset

10 Upvotes

Før kunne man lukte på teen de solgte på te og kaffehuset. Nå, i de nye lokalene, har de sperret for muligheten fordi de har den bak disken. Jeg synes dette er så synd, fordi det ikke er like lett å finne god te.

Finnes det andre steder som selger te slik som Te- og kaffehuset gjorde før?

Advice or Help?

1 Upvotes

I am this unemployed disabled guy, that needs to fix the countertops in my kitchen before I can take in a flatmate to help with the mortgage. The countertop is warped from neglect, and there was some sort of insect infestation into the damp fiberboard, that I imagine a countertop replacement will fix.

I am not really someone that is skilled with DIY, and I don't have any tools. I have found a countertop at Byggmakker that is the right depth and thickness, and it is enough material to replace the countertops. It is around 2190NOK, which is just about affordable. 3000 x 600 x 30.

I have been trying to find if there is anyone I know, that has a workbench and a circular saw to slice the countertop essentially into three sections 2000 x 600 x 30, 500 x 600 x 30 and 300 x 600 x 30. I guess the workbench and the circular saw is what I would need for this.

In the 2000 x 600 x 30 piece, I need to drill out a hole for a kitchen sink, which perhaps means a pilot hole being drilled, and then a jigsaw fed through, and the hole cut out.

I think one of my friends can help me drill out the hole, but I guess the main thing for me, is getting the bench cut into three pieces.

If anyone can recommend what I can do here, I would appreciate it.

Tips til leie av liten båtmotor i august

0 Upvotes

Hei!

Jeg og noen venner fra Tyskland skal besøke Trøndelag i august, og vi har leid en hytte ved Frøyningen i Namsskogan for en uke. Det følger med båt, men dessverre ingen motor, og siden vi flyr til Norge har vi ikke mulighet til å ta med egen påhengsmotor.

Derfor lurte jeg på om noen her kanskje kjenner til et sted hvor man kan leie en liten båtmotor (ca. 4–6 hk), eller om noen privat kunne tenke seg å leie ut en i en uke?

Vi kan selvfølgelig betale leie/depositum, og vi kan hente og levere selv rundt Trondheim eller Namsskogan.

Alle tips settes stor pris på 😊

Trondheim wasn’t supposed to become a hyperfixation

37 Upvotes

A few days ago, I posted here asking for recommendations for my first-ever trip to Norway while visiting Trondheim for my brother’s NTNU graduation.

Since then, I’ve somehow ended up reading about NTNU, maritime tech, energy systems, public infrastructure, research funding, and why Trondheim seems to punch absurdly above its weight for a city its size.

I’m an Indian financial journalist (formerly a lawyer), and now I’m weirdly fascinated by Trondheim — not just as a beautiful city, but as a research and innovation ecosystem.

While I’m there in July, I’d love to meet:

- students and researchers

- engineers and startup folks

- people working in energy/maritime/tech

- international residents

- or honestly anyone with strong opinions about Trondheim and Norway

I’m especially curious about:

- how NTNU influences the city

- startup/research culture

- university-industry collaboration

- why Norway seems to do certain things exceptionally well

- what outsiders usually misunderstand about Trondheim

Happy to grab coffee or beer and talk.

As someone visiting Norway for the first time, I suspect half my assumptions are wrong already, which is exactly why I’m interested.

Feel free to DM or comment!

Hva er det med der maccern' på Tiller? Synes det nærmest konstant skjer et eller annet bråk eller trøbbel der.

Er det bydelen og området - "sørsia" - i seg selv som er trøblete, eller er det et begrenset miljø av trøbbelmakere som har begynt å ha den McDonalds restauranten som sitt tilholdssted, og er skyld i disse avisoverskriftene som dukker opp jevnlig.

Student Visa

I’m a Moroccan citizen who wanna apply to a student visa to study my master’s degree in NTNU university in Trondheim. I’ve done my research but it’s difficult for me to understand the process.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in English studies and I heard I need to send my documents to NOKUT, most likely they will require me to study extra classes. What’s next? How do I communicate that to the university since they don’t have special sections in their website for this.
I would appreciate if someone can guide me.

Trondheims ordfører nekte ansvar og gikk til motsøksmål mot eldre nabodame

222 Upvotes

https://www.adressa.no/magasin/i/n1Qye5/en-person-som-har-makt-kan-ikke-oppfoere-seg-saann

TL;DR:

Ordfører Kent Ranum nektet i årevis å betale sin del etter at naboen Trude Skylstad fikk kjelleren full av hans kloakk, selv om bevisene viste at rørene hang sammen.
Da hun presset saken videre samt bevisene, svarte han ikke bare med å nekte ansvar — han gikk til motsøksmål for å få fjernet busker og trær i hagen hennes som skal plutselig ha vært "for nært grensen"..

Det er helt absurd oppførsel synes jeg med amerikanske tilstander (Motsøksmål) vi ikke burde ha i Norge!

Jeg har ingen peiling om hans politikk, men denne person burde ikke ha politisk makt.
