Public transportation

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

Getting around Oslo

Using public transportation

ISS Housing students will receive a travel card for Oslo when they arrive to Rønningen. The travel card is valid for "Sone 1" (Oslo.)

All tickets can be purchased at 7-11 stores, Narvesen, Mix, Deli de Luca, and in the regional travel app Ruter and the national travel app EnTur. 

NOTE! Unfortunately, ISS students are not eligible for a student discount and must buy ordinary tickets. 

You can find travel map at Ruter.no and plan your trip with their interactive service. If you plan to travel outside the city limits, you should check the zone and the price before you board.

To ride the metro (T-bane), you must purchase and validate your ticket before boarding. You will be fined from NOK 1200 to the NOK 1470 for not having a valid ticket!

Rent a city bike

City bikes are primarily used for short rides and as a supplement to public transport. Read more on the city bike web page.
