Travel within Trøndelag by train and bus

Our collaboration agreement with the bus company AtB ensures easily journeys by train and bus with the same ticket.

WHAT IS ZONE A?
Zone A stretches from Hovin to Skatval on the Trønderbanen line, and from Trondheim Central Station to Hegra on the Meråker reailway.

Journeys within the zone A

If you are traveling by train within Zone A, you can buy:

Single ticket with AtB
A single ticket for Zone A in Trøndelag is valid on trains, buses, and trams, but not on boats.

Period ticket with AtB
A period ticket for Zone A in Trøndelag is valid on trains, buses, and trams. If boats are included in the zones, the period ticket is not valid on trains (the exception is the Youth Ticket, which can also be used on trains in Zone A).

These tickets can be purchased in the AtB and Entur apps, or on board the train.

Single ticket in the zone A

You can buy single tickets for Zone A from both AtB and Entur. If you buy a ticket from the conductor aboard, an extra onboard fee will be added. On the train, you can only pay by bank card.

Validity of single tickets:
A single ticket within one fare zone is valid for 90 minutes. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays (except May 17th), it is valid for 3 hours. The same applies if you buy a ticket after 18:00 on weekdays.

Transfers between bus and train:
With a ticket from either AtB or Entur in fare zone A, you can transfer freely between bus, tram, and train within the zone—as long as your ticket is still valid when you board. Read more about transfers at atb.no.

Exceptions in the ticketing cooperation:

Family discount on weekends: AtB’s Family Discount does not apply on trains.
Bicycles and dogs: SJ NORD’s prices and conditions apply to train journeys, also within Zone A.

Students and children

You can travel with child and student discounts in zone A. For journeys within zone A, AtB’s age limits apply:

Child: up to and including 19 years old.
Student: up to and including 34 years old.

You must be able to provide proof of student status.

Disability companion

If you have a disability and need to travel with a companion, your companion can travel for free when you show a companion certificate, both on AtB and SJ NORD within zone A.

Journeys across zones

If part of your journey takes place outside Zone A, you must buy a ticket for that part from Entur.

You can combine:

Two period tickets: one from AtB and one from SJ NORD (purchased in Entur).
Single ticket and period ticket: a period ticket from SJ NORD (purchased in Entur) with a single ticket from AtB, or the other way around.

NOTE: You cannot combine two single tickets (an SJ NORD single ticket and an AtB single ticket).

If you are traveling outside zone A with a single ticket, you must purchase the entire ticket through Entur.

Students and children

You can travel outside zone A, or between zone A and another zone, with a child ticket or a student ticket.

For journeys outside Zone A, SJ NORD’s age limits apply:

Child: You are considered a child until you turn 18.
Full-time student, apprentice, or pupil under 30 years old: you can travel with a student discount ticket.

When traveling with a student ticket, you must be able to present valid ID and either a student card, proof of enrollment, or other documentation.

Disability companion

For journeys outside zone A, SJ NORD’s rules apply.

Companions of persons with disabilities who hold a companion certificate can travel with a concession ticket (discount fare).
Companions of the deafblind passengers travel for free.
