TIMEkspressen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TIMEkspressen (lit: Hourly Express) is a coach bus brand used by Nettbuss on 13 routes in Norway. The coaches are usually operated at one hour headway, but some routes have highter freqency in rush hour and lower freqency in the weekends.
Ironically, a lot of the routes operated by TIMEkspressen compete directly with commuter trains run by Nettbuss' owner, the Norwegian State Railway, including Kongsvingerbanen, Randsfjordbanen, Trønderbanen, Vestfoldbanen and Østfoldbanen.
[edit] History
The brand was originally started by Øst-Telemark Automobilselskap in 1997 through the company TIMEksressen Telemark on the route Notodden - Kongsberg - Oslo. In 1998 Nettbuss bought both companies and started developing the brand on other areas served by Nettbuss.
