What has changed

The map now draws the public transport lines at the full resolution of Entur's route geometry. Before, the lines were simplified, so they could cut across blocks instead of following the street or the track.

The vehicles in the street-level view follow the same lines. The timetable data is the same as before, for the service day 16 September 2026, and 73,911 of 73,949 scheduled trips can still be placed on the map.

The playback files are larger. In 38 municipalities, among them Oslo and Bergen, the street-level view now loads more than 6 MB.

The grade has not changed.

The street-level view now shows the vehicles in the timetable for all 357 municipalities. Playback is built from Entur's timetable data for one service day, 16 September 2026, and shows scheduled departures, not vehicles in real time.

73,911 of 73,949 scheduled trips can be placed on the map, 99.95 per cent. The remaining 38 trips are not shown.

The grade has not changed. Playback shows the public transport service; it is not part of the measurement.

The map now draws the public transport lines, from Entur's national timetable data for the service day 16 September 2026. The data holds 3,842 routes.

The lines are shown on the map of each municipality, and on the front page from county level inwards.

The grade has not changed. Public transport was already part of the measurement; now it is shown as well.

The Explore page compares the mobility grade of all 357 municipalities with population, age, housing, population density, projections and car ownership.

Every figure carries its source, year and definition from Statistics Norway. The housing figures cover all dwellings, occupied and unoccupied.

Herøy and Våler each exist in two counties and are told apart by the county name.

The atlas covers the whole country: 357 municipalities across 15 counties. The method edition is 0.4.0, with the same cutpoints as in every other country the atlas takes in. Two municipalities with the same letter have been measured the same way, wherever they are.

Population figures come from Statistics Norway's official 250 metre grid, scaled against SSB table 07459, so each municipality sums to the population figure SSB itself publishes. 5,627,400 residents in total, with no deviation in any municipality. Public transport is calculated from Entur's national timetable data, and the municipal boundaries are Kartverket's.

D is the largest group, with 114 of 357 municipalities, and only 10 municipalities are graded A. Measured by where people live, the picture turns around: 29.5 per cent of the population lives in an A municipality. The country has a long tail of small municipalities that pulls the municipal count down without moving the population figure much.

Twelve municipalities are listed with their Sami or Kven name alongside the Norwegian one, as Kartverket records them. Kárášjohka, Guovdageaidnu, Aarborte and Dielddanuorri are among them.

Some of it is still missing. The map does not draw the public transport lines, and there is no traffic playback: that stage of the processing has not been run yet. Nor is it possible to ask the map a question. Public transport is still part of the grade itself, so what is missing is the display, not the measurement.
