What Geilo Turbusser does

Geilo Turbusser AS is a Norwegian transportation company founded in 1996 by Steinar Juvet and headquartered in Geilo, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vy Buss (Vygruppen) since 2021. The company runs a fleet of over 28 buses and 3 minibusses with approximately 60 employees across headquarters in Geilo and regional offices in Oslo, Voss, Moss, and Tønsberg. Its services span four core lines: Turbuss (charter/group transport for corporate, school, and sports clients), Shuttlebuss (paid airport shuttle between Gardermoen and Geilo), Skibuss (free ski shuttle operated in partnership with SkiGeilo), and Helseekspress/Helsebuss (specialized medical patient transport under contract with regional Norwegian healthcare trusts, where it claims position as Norway's largest health bus operator).

The fleet features modern coaches with climate control, adjustable seating, charging, toilets, and luggage capacity up to 83+1 passengers (Setra S531DT double-deckers), while healthcare buses are equipped with stretchers, defibrillators, and monitoring equipment and staffed by medical personnel. Pricing is predominantly quote-based for charter services, transaction-based for shuttle, free with partnership sponsorship for ski bus, and government-regulated (egenandel co-pays) for healthcare transport. Distribution combines direct phone/email sales, dedicated booking channels (Geilo Booking, Pasientreiser), and strategic partnerships with SkiGeilo, Geilo Destinasjon, and Norefjell for tourism flows.

Customer segments include healthcare institutions and patients (primary, via national Pasientreiser system), tourists visiting Geilo and Norefjell ski resorts (primary), corporate groups, schools, sports teams, and private events. The company holds Miljøfyrtårn environmental certification, Reisegarantifondet membership, NHO-Transport affiliation, and Åpenhetsloven transparency compliance, and is recognized as the largest health bus operator in Norway.
