Public transport services in Norway have faced ongoing disruptions due to staffing shortages and infrastructure changes. In early August, Svipper reported driver shortages causing cancellations on several bus routes, while roadwork in Sjøgata led to the temporary closure of specific bus stops through September 1. During this period, AtB also implemented schedule updates to optimize services for seasonal travel patterns.

By late August, driver shortages continued to impact Norwegian bus services, specifically affecting multiple lines in Tromsø, including routes serving Tromsø Airport and UNN.
