Check first

What can stop this crossing working

  • SSL notes that one Saturday-morning departure from Syðradalur has no bus connection, so the ferry and the island bus do not always pair up.
  • Kalsoy is small and the road is single-track through tunnels; the ferry and the island bus together are the plan, not a detail of it.
