In 2015 and early 2016, Jarrett Walker + Associates conducted a review of Reykjavík’s bus system, Strætó. This involved a route-by-route and system-level assessment of the service level, ridership, productivity and network design of the system.

JWA led a series of workshops with civic leaders and staff of municipal and national public transport agencies, to help them prepare for a joint planning effort. In the years since, Strætó and its partners have planned and funded a set of bus priority corridors in Reykjavik, and designed a new network for the city based on principles developed in those early workshops.
