About the brand ❤️
Sørlandsruta was a Norwegian bus operator serving Agder in southern Norway. Founded in 1951 through the merger of 13 local bus companies, it became an important provider of regional public transport in the former Vest-Agder area. Its principal route connected Kristiansand, Mandal, Farsund and Flekkefjord, while additional services covered surrounding communities. The company changed ownership several times during its history and became part of the Torghatten group. In 2022, Sørlandsruta was merged with other Torghatten bus companies and Swedish operators to form Connect Bus. The Sørlandsruta legal operation was subsequently dissolved in 2023.
