Part of an employment agreement. "Arbeidstakere som ved flytting ønsker å benytte egen bil i stedet for rute-gående transportmiddel" I think "public transport" but would like other opinions.

Selected
scheduled public transport
Actually, the common Norwegian expression is 'offentlig kommunikasjon', or public transport. Especially in winter, the 'scheduled' bit is often something of an exaggeration anyway...

Norwegian term (edited):
ruteg�ende transportmiddel
scheduled passenger transport; public transport
Bus, train, ferry boat, etc. as opposed to hired car, private car, private plane, etc. "Public transport" is a more usual term for the same thing.

I think they are talking about scheduled (containerised) freight of the employee\'s belongings.

rute-g�ende transportmiddel
public transport
The intention here is surely no more complicated than this - are they using private transport or public? "Scheduled" seems unnecessarily pedantic.

: So the author is pedantic. Shouldn't then the translation too? The author just might have meant precisely sheduled public transport, as opposed to e.g. taxis...:-)

Norwegian term (edited):
rute-g�ende transportmiddel
collective transportation
This term is often used in Scandanavia, but the term "public translation" is a better translation for it (see above answer).
"Fixed-route transportation" might be a litteral translation, but too awkward in this context, and I don't see why a basic employment contract would require this.
