## What is Brakar AS?

Buy your tickets – as easy as 1-2-3. 

Brakar's mobile app lets you buy your ticket before you get on board. The app is valid in Buskerud in addition to the stops used by our bus routes between Buskerud and Oslo.

Brakar Billett requests access permission to the following functions:

* Location

Used in connection with ticket purchases so that Brakar Billett can automatically suggest a ticket based on the zone in which you are located. You can still purchase a ticket even if the location function is turned off, but you must manually enter the stop or station from which the ticket will apply.

* Contacts

Used when sending tickets to phone numbers stored in your contacts.

* Notifications

Used to send notifications when tickets and payment cards expire. You can still purchase a ticket even if the notification function is turned off.

* Background App Refresh

Used at night when updating your control code and today's picture so that next day you always have the valid code and picture ready for a ticket inspection. You can still purchase a ticket even if the background update function is turned off.

* Mobile Data

Used when communicating with Brakar during ticket purchases. If the app's access to mobile data is blocked, you can only buy a ticket if you have access to a wireless network (Wi-Fi). You must also have network access in order to display the control code and today's picture during a ticket inspection.

If you want to block access, you can do so from your phone on Brakar Billett's "Settings" page.

### 1/5 — Not Helpful/Practical for Tourists or Non-Citizens

*2024-01-17*

There’s no option to pay at the website, and despite what the website says, paying via Vy or Entur is not available. Apple pay also isn’t an option. Additionally, some bus routes do not allow for paying onboard in cash. What all this means is that if the app refuses to process your card and you don’t have Vipps, there’s literally no way to buy a bus ticket. Apparently there’s no place in Oslo where a person could purchase a travel card to ride. (The kundesenter is in Drammen.) Absurd!

### 2/5 — Payment methods are terrible, beware your card might not work

*2021-08-31*

Because of coronavirus, you can no longer approach the driver to pay for a ticket in person on the bus, necessitating the use of this app. The only two payment methods in the app are Visa or MasterCard, and the first card I tried to use (a MasterCard credit card) would encounter payment failure so I had to use my MasterCard debit card instead. You have to type out all your credit card data, as well.

There is no excuse in 2021 why a public transport company’s application doesn’t support Apple Pay.
