Risør og Tvedestrand Bilruter was a Norwegian bus company that operated in the eastern parts of Agder on contract with the county administration of Aust-Agder.[1] In June 2005, SBR sold its half to RTB.[2] In 2007, the company had 36 buses and 85 employees, and was owned by the municipalities of Risør, Tvedestrand (26.3% each), Vegårshei and Gjerstad (13.1% each), where the bus company had most of its routes. Along with Setesdal Bilruter it bought Høvågruta in 2002.
