Why is the Metro being upgraded?
The Metro system is undergoing upgrades to make it more robust, attractive, and fit for the future. This involves three major projects:
- Upgrading Majorstuen station
- Connecting the Fornebu line to the existing metro network
- Installing a new signalling and safety system (CBTC)
The work is being carried out by Sporveien and the Fornebu line project and aims to create a more modern and efficient metro network.
For more details, read Ruter's press release.
What does this mean for you as a traveller?
Some lines will be temporarily closed, and buses will replace Metro services on affected routes. We understand this may cause inconvenience to your daily travel, and we are working hard to provide reliable alternative transport during every phase of the upgrades.
Travellers will receive information about replacement services in good time. Details will be available in the Ruter app and on our website.
