Øst-Telemark Automobilselskap

A/S Øst-Telemark Automobilselskap is a defunct bus company based in Notodden, Norway. It was taken over by Nettbuss in 1998.

In 1997, it launched the TIMEkspressen hourly coach service from Notodden to Oslo. Nettbuss later made this a national brand for its hourly intercity coach services. In 1998, the company's owners, Gjermund Jamtveit and Halvor Grene, also started the train company Timetoget, that attempted to operate the Bratsberg Line on a similar, hourly concept.[1]
