The City Train in Kristiansand receives largely negative feedback, primarily due to poor organization and unreliable scheduling. Many reviewers report waiting for long periods at designated stops only for the train never to arrive, with no way to contact the operator for updates. There are also multiple mentions of pricing issues, where tourists felt they were overcharged or misled about the cost of tickets. Some visitors noted that promised English commentary was not provided, and the tours were significantly shorter than expected. The lack of clear communication regarding operational dates and times is a recurring theme, leading to frustration for families and travelers. Consequently, most reviewers advise against relying on this service for city sightseeing.
