These are the price changes for the 30-day ticket

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

Children and young people travel without zone restrictions from August

30-day ticket for children and young people are 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.

Subject to approval from the Norwegian Railway Directorate

The price reduction will be implemented provided that the Norwegian Railway Directorate approves the application for funds from the state’s temporary subsidy scheme for cheaper period tickets. Oslo and Akershus have applied for a total of 342 million kroner. The waiting time until 3 May is due to the need for coordination between Ruter and the railway sector.
