Before you rely on this route
- Tied to the ferry
The island bus is timed around ferry route 56 from Klaksvík. Read the two timetables together, not separately.
- Not every sailing connects
The operator notes that the Saturday morning 09:20 departure from Syðradalur has no connecting bus, so a sailing does not guarantee a bus at the other end.

For visitors
What this route is useful for
- Trøllanes is the trailhead for the walk out to the Kallur lighthouse, which is why most visitors are on this bus at all.
- Kalsoy's road runs through narrow single-track tunnels, so the ferry and this bus together are the plan rather than a detail of it.
