Our offerings and services

As the market leader in the Nordic region, with a wide range of traffic contracts, Nobina has solid knowledge and experience to create traffic solutions that meet society's needs both today and in the future. Our specialty is bus traffic in both urban and rural areas, but our ability to think new and innovative is also a strong driving force and strength that we have developed over the past ten years. We use this strength to solve the growing challenges of cities in terms of accessibility, but also in rural areas where we work to create more efficient and attractive traffic solutions.

Regional traffic for efficient commuting

Nobina is the largest in the Nordics in terms of experience and contracts for operating regional traffic. We are proud of that because regional traffic has a very important and structural mission to offer good commuting opportunities to the cities from the countryside. The travelers are primarily school students and work commuters who need public transport with reliable punctuality and efficiency. Traffic is at its most intense in the morning and afternoon during rush hour, and a great deal of know-how is required to meet the needs of regional traffic in terms of traffic planning and accessibility.

City traffic for quieter, cleaner cities

Large cities across the Nordic region share the same challenges in terms of accessibility, traffic intensity, noise and emissions. The main cause is increased car use and a lack of prioritization of street space for sustainable modes of transport. Investments in increased frequencies, bus lanes, well-placed bus stops and signal prioritization are crucial for city bus traffic to maintain - and increase - their competitiveness, so that they can both meet passenger needs and contribute to reducing emissions and noise. The city traffic operated by Nobina is now mainly fully electric, quiet and planned for optimal efficiency, frequency and punctuality throughout the day.

Bus Rapid Transit allows urban traffic to take place

Within BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), Nobina has the most experience in the Nordic region among all established operators. We have also been a strong driving force in developing the BRT concept, which is based on city bus traffic being a very strong priority, with extra large buses that can accommodate a large number of passengers, extra high frequency of trips, boarding at all doors and clearly prioritized lanes. Nobina has been involved in developing the first guidelines for the concept (Guidelines BRT) which describe and rank good examples and requirements for a BRT model.

Replacement traffic

Safe and secure school transport

Our experience with school bus services has increased in recent years, thanks to more school transport contracts. School bus traffic has largely the same needs as regular regional bus traffic, but needs to meet greater requirements for safety, security and accessibility. Together with clients, we have developed special support to improve both co-planning and information for travellers and parents. Värmlandstrafiken has been a particularly close and committed partner in this work, which we want to extend to other areas. We also have good experience of closer dialogue with schools about school start times, and we drive efficiency improvements and transfers to regional traffic when it is profitable and there are good synergy effects.
