[edit] History

Team Trafikk was created in 2001 when the municapally owned Trondheim Trafikkselskap and the Kyrksæterøra-based and Orkla-owned Hemne og Orkladal Billag (HOB) were merged. Both the previous owners later sold their shares to the Norwegian State Railway subsidiary Nettbuss. After the take-over Nettbuss transfered the non-Trondheim operations to Nettbuss Trøndelag AS and kept the Trondheim operations in Team Trafikk.

[edit] Routes

All bus routes in Trondheim go via the terminal at Munkegata/Dronningens gate in the city center. Some buses also continue on to Trondheim Central Station. The lines 3-9 are higher frequency commuter buses while two digit numbers have lower frequencies. Line 1 is the tram, Gråkallbanen.
