Question #1 - How can you pay the bus fare in the capital area?

Drawing the code on a napkin and scan it

yes3

Question #2 - You’re on the bus and want to pay with the Klappið. How do you scan the code?

An online portal, like your internet bank, but for bus tickets

Pages you can get sent from Strætó to learn about the history of busses in Iceland

A website to see your grades in school

A new app just launched by Strætó

yes4

Question #3 - What are My Pages?

By looking at the Meteorological Office’s website

By asking a friend

Listening to Útvarp Saga call-in hours to catch the bus drivers calling in and telling listeners about disruptions

The Klapp can be set up to notify you of disruptions to your route

yes1

Question #4 - It’s summer, and there are roadworks everywhere, so the bus has to use detours. How can you get notified of disruptions to your route?

Connect to the NASA GPS data portal 

Go to the live map in Klappið (or on straeto.is) and tap your stop

You can’t. It’s best to just play it by the ear and hope for the best – uncertainty is fun!

Search straeto.is for lost and found items

Question #5 - You’re at a bus shelter and want to know when the next bus is coming. Where can you find out?

Anything you can carry that doesn’t stink

The sofa your aunt gave you

Your school bag

Your good mood

Question #6 - What can you NOT bring on the bus?

You can pay with a seasonal pass, a payment card, or with cash, and you can even get change

You can use the Strætó app

The countryside uses its own payment system and all fares are paid in Japanese yens

By smiling at the bus driver

Question #7 - You decide to take the bus from Mjóddin to Akureyri. How can you pay in the buses on the countryside?

Self-driving buses

The nostalgia of taking buses using the 1931 route system

Use a phone or payment card to pay; a cap on fares, and a new route network which will have special bus lanes so it won’t get stuck in traffic

Subsidized driving in your own car so we get even more traffic

Question #8 - What’s coming up in the coming years in Strætó?

Note quite there..
