School leavers, known here as russe, party for weeks on midnight buses.

Party bus tradition dates back to Oslo in the early 1980s and tends to be more prevalent among some of the more elite schools.

Parents and politicians are concerned that the party bus culture has become too commercialised and exclusionary.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store said last year that he too had enjoyed his graduation, but the culture had spun out of control.

Norway 's Minister of Transport: "We can no longer send our young people off in unsafe buses" Edvard Aanestad : "The government wants to take away the sideways seating on the buses and just have group seating. I think it's the wrong way to go," he says.

Edvard says banning some of the buses will mean fewer buses to go around.
