Oslo and the suburbs are divided into zones. The entire city of Oslo falls into zone 1, which is why I will only consider the fare in zone 1. Attention! The indicated rates do not apply to the trip before; other rates apply there.

Buying a card will suit those who have come to Oslo for a long time. You can also buy a ticket for 1 ride or a ticket for 24 hours at the same ticket machines. Ticket machines are located at metro stations, major bus and tram stops, and railway stations.

For validation, place the card on a card reader at a metro / train station or on board a bus / tram. Tickets can also be bought on board buses and ferries. You cannot buy a ticket on the metro and trams.

Trains in Oslo

Oslo has a commuter train system, including the popular train service between Oslo and Drammen via Skøyen, Lysaker and Asker. Please note that there are a lot of people on the trains during rush hour. Oslo's main railway station is called Oslo S and is located near the main bus station Oslo.

Oslo Metro (T-Bane)

Oslo has 6 metro lines that cover most cities. All lines intersect in the city center, so important stations such as Majorstuen, Nationaltheatret, Stortinget, Jernbanetorget, Grønland and Tøyen can be reached on any metro line. There is also a circular line formed by branches 4 and 6, which intersect at the Nydalen / Storo points north of the city center.

Line 1 is popular with tourists and takes you to the Holmenkollen ski jump. This metro line contains the Oslo National Theater and Royal Palace(Nationaltheatret metro station), central bus and railway station (Jernbanetorget station).

The current Oslo metro map can be viewed below.

Trams in Oslo

Trams are another way to get around downtown Oslo. Oslo's tram network connects many parts of the city. Popular tram destinations include Vigeland Sculpture Park, Bislett Stadium, Oslo's Aker Brygge and Grünerløkka districts, and most of the attractions in the city center. Trams run exactly on time, with a daily interval of 10 minutes.

Buses to Oslo

There are two types of buses in Oslo: red buses that cross the city and connect the center to the outskirts, where no other means of transport go, and green buses - regional buses that run long distances and depart from the central bus terminal in Oslo. Opening hours of daily bus routes: from 05:00 to 00:00. Night buses run at night.

Green buses should go to the front door and show your ticket, informing the driver of your destination outside the city. You can enter the red local buses at any door, without forgetting to punch your ticket.

Passenger ferries to Oslo

Your ticket is valid on a limited number of passenger ferries to the smaller islands near Oslo - Hovedøya, Lindøya, Nakholmen, Bleikøya, Gressholmen and Langøyene. All of these islands are included in transport zone 1. Several ferries connect Oslo with the city of Nessoden and other cities further along the Oslofjord. Oslo is connected by regular ferry services to the cities of Denmark (Copenhagen, Friedrichshafen) and Germany (Kiel).

Ferries leave from the promenade near the Town Hall (Rådhuset). Tickets can be purchased at ticket offices in terminals or online in advance. Ferry tickets are by no means cheap.

Taxis in Oslo are not cheap. In taxis in Oslo, a system of surcharges is applied: for a trip in the evening and at night, for a landing. The main taxi companies in Norway are OsloTaxi, Norges-taxi. Taxis can be taken from the wheels or ordered by phone. Taxi operators speak English and Norwegian. In a taxi, you can pay in cash or by card.

If you are in certain time you need to get, say, to the airport, for convenience, you can in advance with a Russian company.

Rent a car in Oslo

Norway is a very interesting country for travel with hidden corners of pure nature hidden from the eyes of tourists. There is not much to do in the cities of Norway. To explore the whole country, I recommend renting a car. A rental car will make you independent from the work of public transport and will allow you to see the most best places countries at their own pace.

It is very comfortable to see the sights of Norway with a rented car. I advise you to rent a car in advance on the website in order to rent a car at a better price and choose a car of the required class.

Oslo's urban transport is a well-developed system, which includes both buses and 6 metro lines, trams, taxis, along with water transport. Besides, main feature all types of public transport are punctual and comfortable. So, for example, in the cabin of a bus or tram, passengers are given free leaflets with a detailed timetable for this type of transport, indicating the time of departure, as well as stops. The transport driver must inform passengers in advance about the next stop. At the same time, a special creeping line is located above the driver's cab, which constantly reminds the route number, as well as in which direction the vehicle is moving.

The very entrance to the bus, tram or train is very low, in other words, people with disabilities can easily enter the transport, since the bottom step is level with the sidewalk.

Oslo metro

general information

Oslo Metro (T-banen) is one of the most famous in all of Europe. Most of its stations were built between 1935-1951. After a full-scale reconstruction in 1955, the Oslo metro was fully operational.

The main feature of the Moscow metro is the fact that all of its lines converge in the central part of the city, which is why trains very often run on the same routes. On the outskirts of Oslo, the lines diverge, and the tunnels end, as if "emerging" to the surface.

All 6 metro lines differ in color and name. They are assigned a specific number. The stations that are located underground are shallow, as they descend only a few meters underground. Trains have only 3-4 carriages, painted in red.

Learn more detailed information about the movement of subway trains can be found on the website: www.tbane.no.

Oslo metro opening hours

The city's metro operates from 6:00 am to 0:30 am.

Interval of movements

Moscow metro trains run at different intervals. In the central part of Oslo they run at intervals of about 3 minutes, and on the outskirts - about 15 minutes. On weekends and holidays the interval of movement is 30 minutes.

Transport nuances

In order for passengers to easily navigate the long subway passages, they need to remember only two things:

• desired line number
• the final station of the direction of its movement

Each central station has electronic displays that display the time remaining until the arrival of the next train, as well as its route. At the stations, which are located on the outskirts of Oslo, instead of a board, there are huge billboards with a timetable.

The most interesting thing is that on all trains, the drivers always announce the name of each next station, but they do it so quickly that it is very difficult for passengers to understand what they are talking about. Therefore, if you do not want to miss your station, then it is best to ask around with your fellow travelers.

Trams

general information

Locals tram network called Oslotrikken. In addition, tram lines are numbered 11, 12, 13, 17, 18 and 19, which originate from the central terminal located at Jernbanetorget train station.

If you want to get acquainted in detail with all the sights of the capital of Norway, then you should not be limited to only one central part of the city. You can use trams no. 11 and 12 to reach Tursov via Grunerlekka. And if you take trams 18 and 19, you can admire the beauty of Mount Ekeberg.

Tram opening hours

Trams start operating from 6:00 am to 12:00 am.

Interval of movements

On weekdays, trams run around the city at intervals of 10-15 minutes. Only in the early and late hours of the day, their interval increases to half an hour. On weekends and holidays, trams run every 20 minutes. It is also worth noting that on Sunday and on weekday evenings, routes 13 and 18 are closed.

Transport nuances

Tram drivers announce each next stop on their line, but in order for the tram to stop exactly where you need it, press the red button with the inscription “stopp” located on each handrail in the passenger compartment - then a signal panel will turn on above the driver's cab.

You can find detailed information on the tram traffic patterns, as well as their timetable, on the capital's tram service website: www.trikken.no.

Oslo Buses

general information

Most of bus routes originates from Central Station Oslo ends on the outskirts of the city, where, as a rule, metro and trams simply do not reach. In addition, in the capital of Norway there is also one circular line, which runs by buses No. 20-24.

Bus opening hours

The first bus leaves for its route at about 5:00 am during normal daytime, and an hour later on weekends. Bus transport ends around midnight. For the convenience of passengers who go about their business in the early morning, from about 4:00 to 5:30 on weekdays and from 5:00 to 6:30 (7:00) on Saturdays (Sundays) there are special buses called morgenbuss (this routes No. 112-117). They connect the Oslo suburb with the Helsfyr metro station. On Friday and Saturday night buses (# 201-218) run around the city from 1:00 am to 4:00 am.

Interval of movements

On average, buses run every 5-10 minutes. On weekends and at night, passengers can wait for their bus for up to half an hour.

Transport nuances

The entrance to the bus is carried out only through the front door. Thus, you can, if necessary, purchase a ticket from the driver, validate a previously purchased ticket, or present your travel card. The middle door is designed exclusively for strollers and disabled people.

In order to stop an approaching bus while at a stop, just wave your hand to the driver, since the vehicle makes a stop only at the request of passengers.

Please be aware that on night routes you will not be able to use your passes, with the exception of tourist card Oslo Pass. In other cases, passes can be easily purchased from ticket machines or from the driver.

More detailed data on bus routes can be found on the website www.ruter.no/.

Taxi

general description

Not every tourist and even local has the opportunity to use a taxi, as the cost of their services is very high. In addition, taxis do not go outside the city, which creates some inconvenience for travelers. You can call a car by phone, find it at specially equipped parking lots, which are huge in the city, or simply catch it on the street.

Useful information:

• The five lines of the Oslo metro (T-banen i Oslo) are distinguished by numbers, colors (blue, purple, green, orange and yellow) and names of end stations. The metro is mainly used for connections with the suburbs. In the city center, four branches actually merge into one, and the trains move along the same paths. At the outskirts, the lines diverge, the tunnels end, the trains go to the surface, turning into commuter train... The fifth line (Frognerseteren - Majorstuen) never reaches the center.
• The interval of train movement is different: from 3 minutes in the center to 15 minutes on the outskirts. At night, the interval of movement can be up to 30 minutes.
• There are practically no escalators in the Oslo metro: underground stations are shallow, going down just a few dozen steps underground. Trains are mostly red and consist of 3-4 carriages.
• Distances between three central stations- Jernbanetorget, Stortinget and Nationaltheatret are small, in the center it is easier and cheaper to walk. But if you want to visit Holmenkollen ("blue" line number 1) or Lake Sognswann ("yellow" line number 3), the metro in this case is the most convenient way to travel.
• There are no turnstiles in the metro, no one controls you at the entrance. However, remember: immediately behind the yellow line, the metro area begins, where you cannot stay without a ticket.
