===Bus transport=== Each county is responsible for the public bus and boat transport in their area,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/sd/tema/kollektivtransport/Lokal-kollektivtransport.html?id=426187 |title=Lokal kollektivtransport |author=Norwegian Ministry of Transport |access-date=2008-07-15 |language=no}}</ref> (railways, regional airlines and the [[Hurtigruten|Coastal Express]] boat, are financed by the state).<ref name=minpt /> Buses transported 290 million passengers 3.7 billion passenger kilometers in 2007.<ref name=statpt07>{{cite web|url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/10/12/kolltrans/tab-2008-01-03-01.html |title=Kollektivtransport |author=Statistics Norway |date=2008-01-03 |access-date=2008-07-15 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101213241/http://www.ssb.no/emner/10/12/kolltrans/tab-2008-01-03-01.html |archive-date=January 1, 2009 }}</ref> 6,194 buses were in operation during 2007; tickets sales was NOK 3,721 million while bus transport received government subsidies of NOK 3,393 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ssb.no/kolltrans/tab-2008-01-03-02.html |title=Buss |author=Statistics Norway |date=2008-01-03 |access-date=2008-07-16 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101213306/http://www.ssb.no/kolltrans/tab-2008-01-03-02.html |archive-date=January 1, 2009 }}</ref> [[Bus]] and [[Water taxi|passenger boat]] services are normally operated by private companies on contract with the county or their public transport authority (such as [[Ruter]] or [[Vestviken Kollektivtrafikk]]). Tickets and tickets prices are organised by these authorities. Some of them have special brand names and connected painting of the buses, especially in bigger cities. Other counties, especially smaller, don't use brand names and let the operators decide bus paint. Long-haul coach services are operated by various companies, most of whom cooperate through [[NOR-WAY Bussekspress]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nor-way.no/wsp/nbe/frontend.cgi?session=d0e5ccde8f8843e7778e7f8c97e78f&func=publish.show&table=PUBLISH&func_id=1116&asubmenu=1116 |title=Selskapene |author=NOR-WAY Bussekspress |access-date=2008-07-15 |language=no |author-link=NOR-WAY Bussekspress }}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref> In Northern Norway (mostly from [[Fauske Municipality]] and further north) long-haul buses are operated by the counties.
