Remember to buy a ticket before boarding. It's cheaper for you and helps us keep our schedules.

Travelcard
The travel card is a plastic card you top up with tickets or pay-as-you-go credit, and which you validate using a card reader when you travel. You may order travel cards online, or you may buy them at staffed sales outlets. A new travelcard costs NOK 50. Take good care of your card! It can be reused.
You can also get automatic renewal of the 30-day ticket and automatic top up of pay-as-you-go credit.

Ticket machines
If you have a travelcard, you can buy all Ruter's tickets (except from the Rufus-ticket and 365-day ticket) and top up your pay-as-you-go credit by using a ticket machine. If you don't have a travelcard, you can buy a single ticket and a 24-hour ticket on the disposable Impuls card at the same ticket machines.
You will find ticket machines at Metro stations, the larger bus and tram interchanges, and in train stations.

Trams and Metro
It is not possible to buy tickets on trams and metro carriages. You must either buy a ticket beforehand or pay with pay-as-you-go credit on board without a surcharge. It is not possible to activate the ticket on board the metro. This must be done at the station.
