In development

Faroe Islands Bus

An offline companion for the Faroese bus and ferry network is in development. Tell us which platform you need and we will let you know when it is ready.

What it will do

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.

The network offline

Routes, stops and interchanges available without a signal, which is the normal state of things in a Faroese valley.

Built around the return leg

The app is being designed around the question this network actually poses: can you get back the same day?

Every claim traced to its source

The same discipline as this site — each service claim links back to the operator publication it came from, with the date it was checked.

What it will not do

No live tracking, and no pretending

  • No live bus positions and no real-time arrivals. No public feed publishes them for this network, so an app claiming them would be guessing.
  • No account, and no reason to build one. Saved journeys live on your device.
  • No claim to replace the operator. Every service claim will link back to the publication it came from, with the date it was checked — exactly as this website does.

Meanwhile

The website works today

Nothing here is gated behind the app. The route pages, the destination pages and the journey finder are the product; the app is a way to carry them where there is no signal.
