History

Telemark Bilruter is the consequence of the constant merger of bus companies in Telemark, and was created in 1998 when Vest-Telemark Bilruter and Grenland Nord trafikkselskap merged. The first operation of a bus by a precessor was in 1910 when Fyresdal Automobilselskap bought a French La Buire. In 1943 11 companies merged to form Vest-Telemark Billag, and in 1972 it merged with Reinums Bilruter to create Vest-Telemark Bilruter. Grenland Nord had its roots back to 1920 and was created by a merger in 1989.
