Road system

The road network has to deal with a lot of interference from fjords and mountains, but does it's best, with new tunnels and bridges being built all the time.

Ferry and fast boat services:

There are many ferry and fast boat services in the area - car ferries and various types of fast boat for foot passengers.

Train services:

Rail services run close to the coast from Stavanger down to Kristiansand and then up to Oslo.  There is also a route through the mountains from Bergen across to Oslo - including the famous Flåm railway branch line.

Bus and Coach services

There is a good network of bus and coach services.  The buses serve the towns and surrounding areas, with longer-distance coaches running between the towns, along the coast and inland.
