Tickets and fares The standard fare for a single ticket within the capital region of Rekyjavik in 2022 is ISK 550 for adults but discounts of 50% are available for children, senior citizens and disabled people. Children under 11 ride free on these services. Tickets have a timer of 75 minutes from the first activation, allowing multiple bus trips to be boarded in the time window. Tickets are bought via the Strætó app for single and group tickets or via the KLAPP app. Single fare stubs and 10 ticket stubs can be bought at convenience stores like '10-11' valid only on the capital region bus service. This excludes countryside services which are done mainly via cash and contactless payment methods (Google Pay, Apple Pay, contactless banking). These services can vary in price dependant on the zone that a person is travelling to. Cost is ISK 550 per zone travelled through to destination.
