Timetable and Network Context
This route is a component of the local public transport network in the Ryfylke region, connecting communities around the wider fjord system. Nesheim also has direct ferry links to Eidssund, Foldøy, Helgøy, Jelsa, and Nord-Hidle. From Nedstrand, other Kolumbus services connect to Foldøy, Hebnes, Vikedal, and Vormestrand.
The service is integrated into the national AutoPASS for Ferje payment system. This system is primarily for vehicles, with charges based on length. Foot passengers often travel without charge on many such local ferry connections in Norway, but vehicles require a valid AutoPASS tag or must pay directly at the quay.
