Getting around in Oslo

Public transport

All public transport in Oslo and the surrounding boroughs are included in one ticketing system. That includes city and regional buses, trams, undergrounds, local trains and ferries. The ferries to Bygdøy are not included.

Tickets and zones

One of the easiest ways to get and manage tickets for public transport is using the mobile app Ruter. If you prefer having physical tickets in your pocket, you can purchase them at the Oslo Visitor Centre, at Ruter’s customer service centre, and in Narvesen and 7-Eleven shops.

Please note that if you want a physical version of weekly, monthly or annual tickets, you need a reusable plastic travel pass costing 50 NOK. All tickets are transferable.

Oslo and the surrounding boroughs are divided into several zones. All of Oslo, including the last stops of the subway system, is included in zone 1. If you want to go to Oslo Airport Gardermoen, you need a ticket for four zones. If you have a period ticket, you can buy the remaining zones separately.

Free travel with the Oslo Pass 

With the Oslo Pass, you can travel for free within zone 1 (Oslo), 2, 3, 4V and 4N. You can read more about the zone system on Ruter's website. In addition to Ruter’s public transport network, also the ferries to Bygdøy are included in the Oslo Pass. Find out more about the Oslo Pass and what is included here.
