History

The company was established by NSB on June 16, 2016 under the temporary name, Salg og Billettering AS,[1] as part of the preparations for the restructuring of the railway sector in connection with the railway reform of the Solberg government.[2] The final name was passed on September 14, and the company changed its name to Entur AS.[3][4] On the 15th of October, the company became operational when it took over the operation of the sales and ticket solutions and its employees from the parent company NSB.[5]

On September 1, 2016, the Ministry of Transport and Communications established the company [Reiseplan og billett], which was integrated into Entur AS during the first tertiary 2017.[6]

During 2017, it is also planned that the company Interoperabilitetstjenester will be merged with Entur and that some of the tasks undertaken by Norsk Reiseinformasjon (NRI) will be taken over.[7][8]

Entur has developed a travel planner for public transport throughout Norway,[9] which in the long term will also give the opportunity to buy tickets directly. It also contains travel information from Avinor.[10][11][12]
