Faroe Islands Bus

Faroe Bus is on Google Play for Android. Plan SSL bus and ferry trips by place and keep the timetables on your phone when the signal drops. There is no iPhone version yet.

In the app

What the app looks like

  • The trip planner in Faroe Bus: Klaksvík to Trøllanes, with two trip options that each change from ferry 56 to bus 506, and a notice that the next trips are tomorrow.
  • The All Routes screen listing Strandfaraskip Landsins ferries and country bus routes by number and destination, including 07 Suðuroy, 56 Syðradalur (Kalsoy), 100 Vestmanna and 300 Sørvágur.
  • The offline map of the central Faroe Islands around Tórshavn, showing roads, place names and stops.

Screens from Faroe Bus version 0.8.55, captured on an iPhone simulator on 5 October 2026. The version on Google Play may be newer. Any times on the screens belong to that evening's capture and are not a timetable: check every journey with Strandfaraskip Landsins (SSL).

What it does

Built for a network with gaps in it

This website already answers the question most visitors arrive with. The app exists for the part a website cannot help with: standing at a stop in a valley with no signal, wondering whether anything is coming.

Plan by place

Choose where you start and where you are going by name, such as Vágar Airport, Tórshavn, Klaksvík or Gjógv. Planning works without GPS.

Timetables and map offline

SSL bus and ferry timetables and an offline map of every stop the app covers stay on your phone when the signal drops.

Know which trips need a call

Many rural SSL trips only run if you phone ahead. The app marks every one of them, so you know before you set out.

What it does not do

No live tracking, and no pretending

  • No live bus or ferry positions and no real-time arrivals. No public feed publishes them for this network, so an app claiming them would be guessing. It shows scheduled times.
  • No account and no sign-in needed to plan, read timetables, see today's departures or use the offline map.
  • No claim to replace the operator. Timetables come from SSL's published route pages, and SSL changes its tables between winter and summer, so check important journeys with SSL. The app does not sell tickets and is not an SSL service.

Alongside

The website works on its own

Nothing here is gated behind the app. The route pages, the destination pages and the journey finder are the product; the app keeps timetables on your phone where there is no signal.
