Bus and train information
Download the ATB Mobillett app to secure tickets. The same ticket works for both local trains and buses. You can also buy train tickets on Vy dot no. You can buy a single ticket or a period ticket for one day, seven days, thirty days, etc. (If staying in the Melhus-Trondheim area, you will always be in Zone A.) For buses with 3 numbers (e.g. 410) you will show your ticket from your phone to the driver, and for buses with 2 numbers (e.g. 71) there are random checks so you must have an active ticket before entering the bus. You will also show your ticket to personnel on the train.
