If you travel occasionally, it may be best to have a travel card with pay-as-you-go credit. Pay-as-you-go credit works like a punch ticket you use to pay for your journey.
Buy pay-as-you-go credit
You can buy a new travel card with pay-as-you-go credit in kiosks, service points and at our customer service centre Ruter S.
How to use pay-as-you-go credit
- Validate your travelcard at a card reader every time you travel.
- The price of a single ticket for one zone will be deducted from the card.
- The onboard surcharge does not apply.
Price and validity of the single ticket
If you are entitled to a children's or senior's ticket, this information must be added to the travelcard. This is done when you buy the travelcard or at a staffed sales outlet once you have the card.
- Tell the driver how far you will be travelling, how many persons you are paying for and whether you are entitled to a children's or senior's ticket.
- The driver will deduct the price of the number of single tickets you are paying for from the credit on the travelcard. The onboard surcharge does not apply.
Price and validity of a single ticket
- Buy your ticket from the ticket machine at the station, and choose pay-as-you-go credit as means of payment. Remember to activate your ticket on the ticket machine before boarding the train.
- If you pay using pay-as-you-go credit on board the train, you are subject to a onboard surcharge.
