PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Public Transportation in the City

Oslo offers convenient public transportation, and short distances make it easy to get around by walking or biking.

All the public transport in Oslo and the surrounding county Akershus is part of the same ticket and price system. This applies to buses, trams, subways (t-bane), ferries and local trains.
You can use the same tickets on all public transport in Oslo: bus, tram, metro, train and ferry.

Ruter - local bus, tram, metro, ferry

Ruter is the name of the public transport system in Oslo and the surrounding county, Akershus. City buses, regional buses, trams, subway/metro, ferries and local trains are included in Ruter's ticket system.
Tickets can be purchased from any of Ruter's sales points. Tickets cost NOK 20 more when purchased on board. To travel by subway/metro, you must always pre-purchase a ticket.

Where to buy tickets

Ruter's Customer Service Centre (in front of Oslo Central Station), in most Narvesen and 7-Eleven shops, from ticket machines at metro stations etc.
Single tickets are available on buses, trams and ferries, but these are more expensive than tickets bought in advance.
