My question is whether it is possible to travel to areas in or around Tromso on public transport?

Are there places people can recommend outside of the light pollution of the city centre which are accessible by public transport in the evenings or later at night?

We will be based in the city centre and don't mind walking a couple of miles.

We are thinking of going in either February or March.
