How to buy a ticket

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

How the RuterBillett app works

Travelcard

You may travelcards with tickets or pay-as-you-go credit in kiosks and at our customer service centre and service point. A new travelcard costs NOK 50. Take good care of your card! It can be reused.

You can top up your card in ticket machines and kiosks, or at our customer service centre or service points. You cannot top up your card here at ruter.no.

How the travelcard works

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.

Kiosks and Service Points

You can buy all our tickets and obtain a travelcard at the following sales outlets:

• The kiosks Narvesen, 7-Eleven, Deli De Luca and Mix, as well as some selected shops.
• Ruter's Customer Service Centre and Service Points.
• The bus terminals in Oslo and Lillestrøm.
• NSB's staffed train stations.

On board

Buses and ferries

If you are unable to buy a ticket before travelling, you may buy single tickets on board buses and ferries. You must pay with cash, and we accept no denominations larger than 200 kroner.

How our onboard surcharge works

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.
