Bus service is reduced or cut in winter, but things are changing rapidly in Iceland. For
destinations on the northern and eastern sides of Iceland (eg Egilsstaðir, Mývatn and
Húsavík), you usually change in Höfn or Akureyri; for the West change in Borgarnes.
In 2015 the Westfjords starts new service from Reykjavík via Holmavík to Ísafjörður
(year-round); and via Stykkishólmur and the ferry to Brjánslækur and Ísafjörður (summer
only) or Patreksfjörður (year-round). Check
