![]() The first public transport in Bergen was the Bergen Tramway, which operated between 18. From 2010 to 2017 the line and its 20 Variobahn trams were operated by Keolis Norge (formerly Fjord1 Partner). Operation is governed by public service obligation contracts issued by the county public transport authority Skyss. Ownership, maintenance and further extensions and vehicles are the responsibility of Hordaland County Municipality through its wholly owned subsidiary Bybanen AS. The first stage was built by the municipality, with financing from the state and the toll road ring, based on the Bergen Program. The decision to start construction was made in 2005. A rapid transit design was first discarded, and in the 1990s a light rail line was proposed. Plans for rail transit have existed since the 1970s, following the 1965 closing of the Bergen Tramway. Further plans for the project involve mooted extensions to Åsane and Storavatnet. A third stretch from Lagunen to Bergen Airport, Flesland opened in 2017. The first stage of the project was a twenty-station stretch between the city center and Lagunen Storsenter, where the first 15 stations comprising a 9.8-kilometre (6.1 mi) stretch opened in 2010, and the second was a 3.6-kilometre (2.2 mi) stretch from Nesttun to Lagunen which opened in June 2013. Bergen Light Rail ( Norwegian: Bybanen) is a light rail system in Bergen, Norway. ![]()
