In general, it’s easy to get from A to B by bus. This is a lot cheaper than to take a taxi.
The bus driver sells tickets on board, but he just takes cash (NOK). A single ticket is 40 NOK, a day ticket 90 NOK (valid for 24h). If you have the chance, you can buy tickets in advance, for example at the airport shop in the arrival hall or in the city center (the bus company’s office, Narvesen at the main square…). Single tickets bought in advance are 30 NOK, a day ticket 70 NOK. Keep your ticket during the bus ride.
If you want to take a taxi, your hotel reception can call it for you. Sydspissen- University will be at least 200 NOK, city center-University approx. 150 NOK, city center- Sydspissen approx. 150 NOK.
