How to get to events this summer
Bysommer
June 11 - August 21
Lillebjørn Nilsen's concert series BYSOMMER lives on in a new guise. This summer, a whole host of free events are being organized for young and old. Check the journey planner for how to get to the various events. Who needs to travel away this summer when there is so much fun happening?
Øya Festival
12–15 August
Music festival in Tøyenparken featuring artists such as Lily Allen, Sombr and Dagny. For many, taking the metro to Tøyen will be the most efficient option. All lines stop here, and it’s only a few minutes’ walk from the station up to the festival.
To make room for the festival, the number 20 bus will be rerouted between Tøyen and Carl Berner. Check the journey planner for updated travel information.
And hey – enjoy the festival!
Tusenfryd
From April 25 (season opening)
Norway's largest amusement park, TusenFryd, opens for the season on Saturday, 25 April. In connection with this, Ruter is strengthening the bus service on weekends:
Line 505
- We are running every 15 minutes instead of every 30 minutes.
- From Oslo Bus Terminal towards Sjøskogen, the extra departures are running from 09:30–18:30
- From Askehaug towards Oslo Bus Terminal, the extra departures are running from 10:05–19:05
Line 521
- We are running every hour.
- From Ski Station: Every hour at 09:04–19:04
- From TusenFryd: Every hour at 09:22–19:22
We are also running extra departures:
- From Oslo Bus Terminal (platform B3/B4): every quarter hour from 09:45–11:45, as well as at 12:15
- From TusenFryd: at 3:56 PM and 4:26 PM, then every fifteen minutes from 4:56 PM to 7:41 PM
The extended service on lines 505 and 521 also runs on weekdays during the schools' summer holidays and autumn holidays.
Going forward, we run 440 times to and from Tusenfryd every weekend. Not bad!
Enjoy yourself!
