Pan Trafikk was a Norwegian bus company operating outside Bergen. The company was created as a merger between Åsane Billag and Bilruta Fana–Os–Milde. The company had depots in Åsane, Fana, Os and Søreide. In 1999 the company merged with Bergen Sporvei to create Gaia Trafikk.

The company operated buses pained red in the surrounding areas around the original municipality of Bergen. Within the old city limits Bergen Sporvei had a monopoly on bus transport with its yellow buses. North of Bergen Pan had all routes between Bergen Bus Station and Åsane in addition to routes in Fana and Os. The company also operated the airport bus

The goal of Pan Trafikk was originally to operate in multiple modes of transportation (thus the name Pan, derived from the Greek Pantos meaning everywhere). This idea was instead left and focus was changed to all types of bus transport. In 1993 Pan started along with Hardanger Sunnhordlandske Dampskipsselskap, Haugaland Billag and Stavanger og Omland Trafikkselskap Kystbussen, an NOR-WAY Bussekspress express bus between Bergen and Stavanger.

When Nordhordland Bridge opened in 1994, Pan Trafikk started cooperating with the bus company in the north,
Bergen Nordhordland Rutelag, replacing the old need to change bus at the ferry quay and instead both companies operating bus routes into each others areas. In 1998 Pan started cooperating with Bergen Sporvei, both companies operating into each other areas. This later resulted in the merger between the two and the creation of Gaia Trafikk. This company merged in 2006 with Hardanger Sunnhordlandske Dampskipsselskap and is now called Tide
