NSB operates on half-hour headways from Bergen to Arna, through the Ulriken Tunnel, the only way under the Ulriken mountain. There are further 16 departures each way to Voss, of which six stop only at Arna and Dale before Voss, not allowing trips Bergen-Arna/Bergen-Dale, while ten stop at all stations, giving three services per direction and hour between Bergen and Arna. Three services continue from Voss to Myrdal.
The operational deficits are financed by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications. Tickets are sold by NSB. Fares are not integrated with Skyss, the county transit authority, or any of the bus operators in Hordaland.
