If you take a bus to school, please note the following:
Route 35 Skoger-Drammen
No change
Route 37 Skoger-Lier
Route 37 drives across Øvre Sund bridge and serves both Drammen bus station and Bragernes as usual. However, since this will take longer the bus schedule has been changed so the buses will leave earlier from the bus station than normal. Check the timetable to make sure you catch the bus you need.
Route 56 Mjøndalen-Drammen
There will be changes to two morning departures, which will now run from Hovjordet instead of Stenseth to Bragernes torg. These departures will leave from Hovjordet at 06:58 and 07:28. The departure at 07:38 from Stenseth to Drammen bus station via Gulskogen will continue to operate as it does today.
Route 72 Lierskogen-Drammen
Stops at Bragernes torg, not the bus station.
Route 79 Lahell-Stoppen
Note that route 79 from Drammen bus station (platform A) to St. Hallvard/Lier vgs now departs at 7:35 in the morning instead of 7:40. The bus will drive via Øvre Sund bridge, and also stops at Bragernes torg (platform B).
Route 139 Åmot-Drammen
Runs to/from Bragernes torg, not the bus station.
To Lier
Buses to Lier and St. Halvard will now run to/from Bragernes torg, except route 37 and 79, which serve both Drammen bus station and Bragernes torg as usual. If you do not use route 37 or 79 and depend on changing bus, it is important that you allow for extra journey time.
Examples:
If you live in Kastanjesletta or Vinnes and usually take route 3 or route 5 into the city, please note that these buses will no longer stop at Bragernes torg. You have the following options:
- Get off at Fylkeshuset and either walk (approx. 13 mins) or change to route 51 to get to Bragernes torg.
- Get off at the bus station, walk over the bridge and continue by bus from Bragernes torg.
If you are travelling from Fjell, you can either:
- Get off at the bus station and walk over the bridge to Bragernes torg (quickest), or
- Get off at Fylkeshuset and change to route 51, which runs to Bragernes.
If you are travelling from Kniveåsen/Konnerud/Svelvik, please note that these buses now terminate at Strømsø torg/Drammen bus station. You will need to cross the river in order to take the bus to Lier.
