You are using your profile when you log in to the Ruter app or via ruter.no. This allows you to log in and access your profile across your devices (mobile phones, tablets, the web etc.) so your ticket is not lost if you lose your device.
You can choose to travel anonymously with Ruter without a profile. You still have the same access to journey planning and ticket purchase, but you will lose your historical data if you reinstall the app or change phones.
When travelling without a profile, you must therefore take good care of your order number or ticket number. If for some reason your mobile phone is lost or unavailable, you can state the order or ticket number and get the remaining value refunded when contacting customer services.
Legal age
You must be 15 years old or older to create a profile.
