• What changes are needed to achieve sustainable public transport?

"It is not so complex, stop burning oil (fossil transport) and use less resources.

• How far have we come in the development towards sustainable public transport in the mountains?

"We have come further than most in Western countries and industrialized countries, but we are the ones who went the furthest in the wrong direction. Because there are several cities in the world where people still mostly walk, So they are already sustainable. We lead the way, but we were also the ones who led the way in the wrong direction. In Norway, we have something called "Zero growth target", it is something we can be quite proud of, which started here in Bergen in the 80s as the first city. Other cities in Europe is now struggling 40 years later to achieve something like this, such as the city trying to get smaller passenger cars. Bergen began the measurements in the 1980s, which have now become the zero growth target that we should have no growth in the use of passenger cars."

• What do we need to focus on most to get more sustainable transport?

"To get a lover number of passenger cars without enough people getting angry enough to vote for the brand new government."

• Are we doing something good for sustainable public transport?

"That it will become more common to walk and use public transport, because there has been a slightly low standard to use the bus. Because if you had money you should have a car. Promoting that culture by having rich people use public transport.”

• What do you think about the fact that they are considering reducing the number of parking spaces available in Bergen?

"Very good! Cheap, it works and we know it works. Studies have been done in Bergen municipality, among others, which have very good statistics."

• Is it realistic that in the future you can have completely sustainable public transport in Bergen?

“Yes, I think that was the most interesting question for me, because on the one hand it is easy to say of course because we can go and have done so for a long time. But on the other hand, I just wanted to explain that saying that something is sustainable is not a status that you achieve and you're done. The whole idea is to keep going. So the system may change, but as long as we continue it is sustainable. If it is not sustainable, it will come to an end."

• How often do you use public transport? If so, which ones?

“Every day, I use the bus."

She also adds a comment about the new posters Skyss has made. One says "Leaving the car is an everyday luxury", but she believes that having a car is an everyday luxury. There is also a poster they have made that says "It is everyday luxury to be able to listen to podcasts and not traffic news", but you can listen to podcasts in the car as well.
