How much is a single Ruter ticket in Oslo?
Adult, child and senior fares for zone 1 and the on-board surcharge.
Short answer
A single adult Ruter ticket for zone 1 in Oslo costs NOK 46 when bought in advance, and the same ticket works on buses, trams, the metro and ferries. Children aged 6–17 pay NOK 19 and seniors NOK 23. It lasts 60 minutes, and on a bus or boat adults pay NOK 20 more.
Why
- Ruter's 2026 price change raised the zone 1 single ticket from NOK 44 to NOK 46; fares are decided by politicians in Oslo and Akershus on Ruter's proposal.
- A single ticket for one zone is valid for 60 minutes from activation, and each extra zone adds 30 minutes.
- Buying on board a bus or boat adds NOK 20 for adults and NOK 10 for children and seniors, and on board you can only pay in cash.
Details
The single ticket covers Ruter's buses, trams, metro and ferries and Vy's trains in Oslo and Akershus, and you can change between them within your zones while it is valid. Children under 6 travel free. Trams and the metro sell no tickets on board, so buy in the Ruter app first, or get a travel card with a ticket at a Narvesen, 7-Eleven or Mix kiosk.
Tip
If you plan several trips in one day, compare the cost of single tickets with the 24-hour ticket in the Ruter app before you buy.
What may differ
Trips from Oslo into Akershus cost more, because the price depends on how many zones you travel through. No Ruter tickets are valid on Flytoget, the airport express train.
