Nuup Bussii A/S is a bus company in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, providing public transport services for the city. As of 2014, Nuup Bussii had 31 employees,[1] operating 16 buses with a distinct yellow color, as well as five other small vehicles.[1]
History
[edit]
Prior to the establishment of public services, the ground transport in the city was operated by private entrepreneurs.[2] The volatility and alleged unreliability of the services prompted the former Nuuk Municipality to regulate the traffic, and establish a public transportation company, overseen by the municipal authorities.[2] Nuup Bussii was then founded on 26 September 1980.[1][2] In 2012 the buses transported more than 2 million passengers around the city of Nuuk.[1] Since 2009 Nuup Bussii provides city transport services in Nuuk for the new Sermersooq municipality,[3] linking the town centre with the outlying districts and neighborhoods[4] of Nuussuaq, Qinngorput, as well as Qernertunnguit in Quassussuup Tungaa.[5]
