Public transportation celebrates 150 years. See what's happening!
Join the celebration
Since 1875, public transportation has shaped the city's development and changed how people live and move. This year marks 150 years since the first horse pulled a streetcar through the streets of Kristiania.
From horse-drawn trams to electric trams, trolleybuses, subways, and new forms of mobility. We have always evolved, and will continue to do so for at least another 150 years.
Everyone in Oslo and Akershus is invited to participate in this historic jubilee. Here you will find an overview of everything happening in connection with the jubilee.

The museum is suitable for everyone, and children especially love visiting us!
Exhibition at Ruter S
Location: Jernbanetorget 1, lower level.
Time: Open between 09:00 - 20:00
This autumn, you can experience a photo exhibition and view historical artifacts inside the Ruter customer center at Jernbanetorget. There, we also distribute certain books, postcards, and trinkets from history that might be nice to take home.
Curiosity: in words and pictures
If you're chuckling, it might be because you've spotted this sign right where you're waiting for the tram or bus.
Scan the QR code and read about the place, see historical photos, and watch the video clips while you wait for the next departure.
