The first step towards a new bus network and the City Line
A new and simpler bus route network for Strætó in Hafnarfjörður came into effect today, and the first bus on the new network, route 19, departed from Kaplakriki at 9:25 this morning. Routes 22, 33, 34, 43 and 44 will cease to operate as a result of this change. New route 19 and an extended route 21 will replace them. These changes are being made to streamline the routes in line with the City Line project, making them more direct and reducing journey times.
