Cash payments on board
We are gradually beginning to accept cash payments on board. We can't guarantee that all buses and ferries will accept cash right away, and still advise you to buy tickets in the Ruter app or at a sales outlet.
Remember to buy a ticket before boarding. It's cheaper for you and helps us keep our schedules.
RuterBillett app
Download the RuterBillett app and buy tickets on your mobile. This is the easiest way to buy tickets. You can buy all our tickets with the app, except from the Rufus ticket.

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.

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.
If you're travelling from a Metro station with a control zone line, you must scan your travelcard before boarding the train. From stations without a control zone line, you may scan your card on board the Metro.
