## What is Kolumbus Billett?

Buy your tickets – as easy as 1-2-3. 

Kolumbus' mobile app lets you buy your ticket before you get on board. The app is valid on buses and some train and boat departures in Rogaland.

Kolumbus Billett requests access permission to the following functions:

* Location

Used in connection with ticket purchases so that Kolumbus 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 Kolumbus 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 Kolumbus Billett's "Settings" page.

### 1/5 — Multiples fallos

*2024-08-11*

Muchos fallos de aplicación de precisión de horarios y una validez ridicula en los billetes de bus mása un cuando hay que hacer transbordos y a la hora del uso de la bicicleta se cierra continuamente cuando te envían el sms para introducirlo

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2024-07-18*

I would like to buy a ticket, but I always receive timeout errors when I try to pay. I tried this app with three different phones…

### 1/5 — Poor design

*2023-11-21, version 6.14.9*

Doesn’t work well, at least for a visitor to Norway. UI is confusing. Linkage with phone does not work. Norway is a sophisticated country, this app is embarrassingly below par. Was it designed on a Friday afternoon?

### 5/5 — It worked

*2023-06-17*

I suppose I got to where I needed to go without many issues.

### 2/5 — Also City Bike issues

*2022-09-27*

Able to buy bus tickets just fine, but the City Bike screen is completely blank. Registering a phone number doesn’t work either, as the verification code is never texted to me.

### 2/5 — City Bike issues

*2022-05-29*

The bus section and other features work, but the city bike section shows up as a blank white screen with and without Wi-Fi present

### 2/5 — Dårlig app

*2022-02-10, version 6.13.4*

Viser unøyaktige tider for bussene som er konstant forsinket.  Jeg vil anbefale andre å skaffe seg en annen app.

### 2/5 — Seemingly not for outlanders

*2018-07-21*

Apparently one cannot buy tickets without a Norwegian address.
