Everything about Gaia Trafikk totally explained
Gaia Trafikk was the largest
public transportation provider in
Bergen and
Os, Norway until it merged with HSD forming Tide.
Gaia was formed by the
1998 merger of
Pan Trafikk, the bus company serving northern and southern Bergen, and
Bergen Sporvei, the company serving Bergen's inner city. The route network covered most of Bergen, but the western suburbs were serviced by
Hardanger Sunnhordlandske Dampskipsselskap (HSD). This resulted in a fixed fleet between the yellow buses of Bergen Sporvei and the red buses of Pan Trafikk being operated by the same company, and coordinated, making a more user-friendly bus system. The largest owners of Gaia was Bergen City Council (43.6%), HSB (7.9%),
Yrkestrafikkforbundet (7.3%) and Os City Council (7.3%).
Among the fleet of about 300 buses are 8
trolleybuses (two of them are
dual-mode buses), making Bergen the only city in north-west
Europe to have them. Gaia fleet also contained 36
natural gas buses.
Gaia Trafikk is merged with HSD forming the company
Tide. The general assembly at HSD approved the merger on
June 29 2006, while the approval at Gaia came on
July 17 2006. The new company is listed on the
Oslo Stock Exchange. Both British
Arriva and the Norwegian
Nettbuss had announced a wish to buy Gaia, indicating a price around
NOK 400 million.
