Nobina Norge
Norwegian bus operator, subsidiary of Nobina
Nobina Norge AS is a Norwegian bus company, owned by Nobina, that operates in the counties of Vestland, Akershus and the cities of Oslo and Tromsø.
History
It was established in 1921. Its name was Ingeniør M.O. Schøyens Bilcentraler AS, branded Schøyens Bilcentraler. Six routes were established that year, the first being Oslo-Hønefoss and Oslo-Drøbak. Since then the company has expanded within Eastern Norway, and in 1936 the company bought part of Larvik Fredrikshavnferjen, which it sold 50 years later. The company became Norway's largest bus company, but has later been bypassed by other groups due to the restructuring of the bus companies in the 1990s and 2000s.
Concordia Bus was founded in 1997, and at first a subsidiary of Schøyens Bilcentraler. It later became Scandinavia's largest and one of Europe's ten largest bus companies, while Schøyens Bilcentraler became a subsidiary of it.
In 2009, Concordia Bus changed its name to Nobina Norge. The name Schøyens Bilcentraler was dropped.
