Reis – single tickets with a discount

Reis is a flexible approach to single tickets providing a personal discount in the Ruter app based on how often you travel.

Reis is perfect if you commute 1–3 days a week or have a more unpredictable travel pattern. Maybe you've experienced that our period tickets don't match your needs, and simply need more flexibility when travelling.

How to get the Reis discount

In short: If you buy a single ticket as an adult or senior, you automatically get a discount – regardless of which zones you travel in.

The discount is personal and is earned when you buy single tickets in the Ruter app.

Children always get a 20% discount

You always get a 20% discount on children's tickets, regardless of whether you buy tickets in the app or elsewhere.

There are no restrictions on how many tickets you can buy with a discount for children. This applies both if you buy on your own phone or if the ticket is sent to the child.

How the discount works

The size of your discount depends on how often you travel: With Reis, you’ll earn a personal discount based on how many single tickets you have purchased in the last 30 days. The more you travel, the higher your discount.

  • You buy a single ticket as usual every time you travel.
  • You start earning your personal discount on single ticket number one, but get your first discount on ticket number five.
  • During the first 30 days, every fifth trip will take you one step higher on the discount ladder.
  • After the first 30 days, your discount will flatten out and remain at the same level if you have a regular travel pattern.
  • If you travel less than usual, your discount may go down.
  • If you travel more than usual, your discount will go up. The maximum discount is 40% of the price of a regular single ticket.

The price you pay for each ticket is therefore always tailored to your unique travel pattern.

Keep track of your discount in the Ruter app. You can always see your next discount, an overview of how many tickets you have purchased, and how much you have spent in the last 30 days. This way, you can easily figure out if Reis is right for you.

Practical info about Reis

General

Comparing Reis to a 30-day ticket

Reis is made for those who commute 1-3 days per week. If you travel more than this, the 30-day ticket will most likely be your best option.

If you are in and around this number of weekly trips, or have a varied travel pattern from month to month, you may consider Reis as an alternative if you want more flexibility. 

Tickets with a discount are regular single tickets

Tickets bought with a Reis discount follow the same rules and terms as regular single tickets. Read more about how the single ticket works.

The discount

Purchasing multiple tickets with discount

If you are traveling as an adult or a senior, you can only have one discounted ticket at a time. If you already have an active ticket with a discount, you must wait for it to expire before you can purchase a new ticket with a discount.

When purchasing adult or senior tickets for several people, you must buy the tickets separately to get a discount on one of the tickets.

Sending discounted tickets

Only children's tickets with a discount can be purchased and sent to others. If you are travelling as an adult or senior, your discount is personal, which means that you don’t receive or earn a discount on tickets sent to others.

Adjusting the discount as we go

Reis is a pilot project paid for by the City of Oslo and Akershus county municipality. Ruter’s goal is to give an average of 10 % discount on all single tickets. To achieve that goal, we reserve the right to adjust the discount model along the way.

You can always see your current discount in the Ruter app before purchasing your next ticket.

Travelcard and other apps

Travelcard as an alternative

You can also get a discount on single tickets using a travelcard.

If you use the Vy or Entur app

Reis is also available in the Vy and Entur apps. The discount you earn there does not apply in the Ruter app, and they are responsible for the product in their apps. If you have any questions about Reis in connection with the Vy or Entur apps, you need to contact the respective companies directly.
