City package Ålesund

The transport system must meet population growth. The urban package will contribute to developing a future-oriented public transport service and an attractive and sustainable development. An early expansion of the road network for cars, public transport, pedestrians and cyclists will be an important prerequisite for further development and growth in Ålesund and the region.

Tariff group 1 (up to and including 3500 kg)

Vehicles with permissible total weight up to 3500 kg and passenger cars in vehicle category M1 in Autosys with a valid agreement.

Tariff group 2 (from 3501 kg)

Vehicles with permissible total weight from 3501 kg with the exception of passenger cars in vehicle category M1 in Autosys with a valid agreement.

Monthly limit: Monthly cap means that a maximum set number of paying passes are paid for in a calendar month per vehicle associated with the agreement. In Bypakke Ålesund there is a monthly limit of 60 paying passes per calendar month, The scheme applies to both rate groups 1 and 2.. Monthly limits require an agreement and a valid chip. The right to a monthly limit is revoked for the current month if the chip issuer changes, this also applies to chip replacement unless the chip replacement is carried out by or in cooperation with the chip issuer.

When replacing a chip, it is necessary to carry out this process in cooperation with the chip issuer. By coordinating the chip replacement with the chip issuer, you ensure that the new chip is correctly associated with the existing agreement and vehicle, and that the monthly limit is met. Furthermore, the chip issuer can provide the necessary guidance and assistance in the chip replacement process. This ensures a smooth transition to the new chip.

Please note that this requires the card issuer to use the "card swap function". Please speak to your card issuer to ensure this is done correctly. You must use the same card issuer for your passes to count towards the monthly limit for the current month. If you plan to change card issuers, we recommend that you do this at the start of each month to maintain the monthly limit as much as possible.

A common hourly rule has been established for all toll stations in Bypakke Ålesund.
