Oslo is well served by bus from most of Europe. The biggest operators of international buses are Swedish companies Swebus Express and GoByBus . Both run inexpensive services to and from Stockholm, Gothenburg and Copenhagen several times a day. Eurolines runs services to Gothenburg and Stockholm.
Domestic services:
Nor-Way Bussekspress is the biggest operator, with several buses to Bergen, Trondheim and tons of other Norwegian destinations. These are very useful for reaching along-the-way destinations, as outside of the central parts of Eastern Norway they stop at every single stop along the way, but are tedious for travelling very long distances also covered by train.
Lavprisekspressen has buses to Trondheim and Kristiansand twice a day, with cheap fares (Internet booking only).
Timekspressen runs a network of bus lines in the area surrounding Oslo, most notably their line 1 to Drammen, Kongsberg and Notodden, that runs every hour, day and night, year-round. Every town and city in Norway is somehow connected to Oslo by public transport, although connections are sparse outside the main arteries.
