Student in Oslo and Akershus
Student ticket: the cheapest way to travel
Are you a student under 30? Then you get a 40 percent discount on the 30-day ticket. In the Ruter app, go to Buy new ticket → Period ticket → 30-day ticket → check the student option. That way you’ll have more money left for what you want.
Apprentices get the same discount.
When you travel with a student ticket, you must always be able to show valid proof that you are studying or in an apprenticeship for the current semester if there is a ticket inspection.
In Oslo (Zone 1), the price of a monthly pass for students under 30 years old is 393 kroner.
