Except for a few periods of the year (notably in the early winter when it snows a lot), Bergen is very rainy and good waterproof gear is recommended, as things can get pretty soaked! Given the somewhat long waiting times that you'll have to face (even in good spots), finding a '''covered bus stop''' (''busslomme'' in Norwegian, different from ''bussholdeplass'' meaning simply bus stop) to hitch from and having a '''waterproof sign''' is vital!
