Price changes for the monthly pass
The price reduction has been made possible by the government subsidy scheme for reduced prices on period tickets.
Adults get a reduction in the price of the 30-day ticket of between 100 and 400 kroner, depending on how many zones the ticket is valid for.
In Oslo (Zone 1), the price of a monthly pass is being reduced by 150 kroner – from 805 to 655 kroner.
Passengers in Oslo in Zone 1 get the largest percentage reduction on the 30-day ticket. This is possible because Oslo municipality is also contributing 115 million kroner from its own budget.
If you travel from Akershus towards Oslo, you will also notice the price reduction:
- One zone: 100 kroner cheaper
- Two zones: 250 kroner cheaper
- Three or more zones: 400 kroner cheaper
Price changes for the annual pass
An annual pass is reduced by 500 kroner for zone 1 (Oslo), 500 kroner for two zones, and by 1,000 kroner for three zones.
Why are prices going down now?
The City Council of Oslo has allocated additional budget funds that help reduce the ticket prices for the 30-day ticket and the 365-day ticket. In addition, there is a temporary state subsidy scheme for the 30-day ticket that further reduces the price of the 30-day ticket.
The state subsidy for the 30-day ticket is in principle valid until April 2027. If it is not extended, some of the prices will be fully or partly reverted to the current prices (prices before 3 May 2026).
Children and youth travel without zone restrictions from August
The 30-day ticket for children and young people is reduced by 100 kroner – from 338 to 238 kroner.
From August, another change will take place that will benefit children and young people: the zone boundaries for children and young people will be completely removed. This means that children and young people can travel freely throughout Ruter’s area – in both Oslo and Akershus – for 238 kroner per month.
