Hi Pal, when you buy a 24 hr ticket on Ruter including the airport zone, zone 2 and the City centre zone, does it cover the vy train connecting to the airport as well? I need to travel from the airport, go to my airbnb in Lorenskog, then go to city centre via bus, and take a return train to the airport the next morning. Will this whole journey be covered in the 24-hr ticket?

T-bane is short for tunnel-bane 😊, refering to how it runs through tunnels underground ! And as additional info, you can ride all the different means of transportation on the same ticket (i.e. take the trikk and then a boat to the islands)

Pål: Really enjoyed your video. My wife and I spent a week in Oslo in 2019 (just prior to the pandemic), and took a train to Bergen (and spent five days there as well). I viewed your videos for both locations, and it brought back some great memories of the amazing time we had while in Norway. I just came across your sailing videos by accident. I am rebuilding a Spidsgatter (Sagitta 30, Aage Utzon design) and plan to sail from Canada to Norway in 2025-26. Look forward to seeing more of your sailing adventures for tips to cruising in those waters. Great videos, and looking forward to more. Fair winds!

Hi Mikal! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍 I love the looks of a Spidsgatter. The Sagitta seems like a very seaworthy vessel. I hope you’ll get in touch when you make it over here, I’d love to meet and hear about your cruise . More sailing videos will come btw. Working on one from last summer :)

But, of course, if you don’t have much time, it’s great to know the means to move around. I’ll definitely check the trikk and the T-bane next time I’m in Oslo 🤗 Btw, I agree with other people commenting on the quality of the video. You’re putting a lot of effort on it and it shows 👏☺️

I'm visiting Norway right now and I wish I knew this useful information before 😂 but it has been pretty entertaining figuring out how the transport system works here. I love how clean and organized the city is and how kind and friendly people are. The only thing is that you must prepare your pocket because your estimated budget possibly won't be enough to afford every expense in here. Oslo is kind of expensive but it's totally worth it since the place offers a lifetime experience and unforgettable memories.

[@oh2mp]

Very nice information. The public transportation system looks very similar like in Helsinki, Finland. I have been to Oslo only once. I was there with my motorhome, spent a night in Bogstad camping and then on the next day drove near to the center, parked there and only walked around. Unfortunately I didn't have more time to spend there that time.

[@norwaywithpal]

You welcome! I hope you'll make it back to Oslo some day. Your comment made me curious about testing out public transportation in Helsinki

[@oh2mp]

@@norwaywithpal welcome! One difference I noticed is that Helsinki has only one metro line that has two branches, and trains are used more for local traffic than in Oslo. I surely will come again some day. I have been driving around your country here and there between Mandal and Vardø and will do it more in the future :) By the way that "trikk" is a nice word. In Helsinki slang trams are called "spåra" which is pronounced so that "å" is short. That's of course "stolen" from Swedish.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@oh2mp aha, spåra, like a "track"? Fun to know. Nice to hear you've enjoyed driving around in Norway. So have I! :)

[@oh2mp]

@@norwaywithpal yeah as a tram is officially spårvagn in Swedish. Finnish does not use letter å at all, but in slang words like that it can appear :) My latest trip to Norway was in autumn 2021 when I drove to Vardø and Hamningberg. I like to visit extreme points.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@oh2mp wow you've been quite far north! Cool to know some Finnish slang

[@kamilaokta]

Thanks for uploading this well-thought-out video! Will be visiting Oslo soon and this definitely helps me to understand more about the public transportation there. One question though: do you have to scan the bought tickets (from RuterApp) when getting onto the bus/tram/trains?

[@norwaywithpal]

You are welcome! Once you have the ticket activated in your app you do not need to scan or show it anywhere. (unless there is a control)

Bravo Pål. This was so well done and so much information packed into a beautify enjoying video. You nailed it with this one. 👏🏻The huge impact it has to show what you are talking about. Such a huge different in quality. Just standing in front of the buss, or standing on the boat talking, or go off at the fram museum like that. Perfect. There is only one thing I found that could serve as a distraction. Some of the times, the music was just a little bit to loud over your voice. it did not "duck" enough. Other from that. I'm talking notes. You really impress me with these videos. Keep it up mate 👏🏻🇳🇴

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks a lot Thomas! I always appreciate your comments. I take notes on what you say about the loud music. Sometimes is sounds different from one setup to another, but this is something I need to look into. Thanks again! :)

[@kihestad]

Tips: invest in a high quality headset with normalized sound profile. I use this one: Sennheiser HD 560S - not crazy expense and very well balanced.

[@norwaywithpal]

@@kihestad That's a great tip! I will look into that :) I do have Bose QC45, but usually don't use them for editing, but maybe I should.

[@kihestad]

@@norwaywithpal Bose headsets are great for noise cancelling and they sounds very nice with a deep bass, but they are not studio headsets. For editing you want headsets that gives you the 'true' sound.

[@norwaywithpal]

I see, Thanks for that input! Will look into getting some new ones

[@dcnstntn]

Great video Pål. Can I ask you a very practical question please. When you buy a ticket on the Ruter app, how do you enter and exit metro stations, buses, and trams. As an example, in London you have to touch in and out on the Tube but only touch in on buses. In Stockholm you only touch in on the metro (not out) but on trams an inspector scans your card/app. I think this is really practical information for tourists. Thanks.

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi Dean, good question! There are no barriers for going in and out of metro stations, and you board buses and trams through any door. No tapping in or out. If you got the ticket on your phone you are good. If you don’t it and there is a control then you are in trouble ;)

[@melrobins8521]

Fantastic video!!! perfect amount of detail without overwhelming the traveller 🎉 Is there a kiosk for tickets at the airport? Is it cheeper to buy a 7 day pass than 24hour....I'd be using it for 5 of the 7 days. (Recent reviews of Ruter app are not very positive 😮(

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there! Thank you :) Ignore the reviews of Ruter and use the app, that is my recommendation. 7 day pass costs more than a 24 hour ticket yes, but it sounds like it is what you need. So if you are going to Oslo then buy a 7 day pass for zone 1. Going from the airport you can add the zones that you need for a small extra fee

pleaswe make a video about grocery shopping in oslo like which cheaper supermarket should we visit and how much money gonna cost us

[@norwaywithpal]

Yea I might do that at some point. Good idea 👍

[@october_man]

Great video. A quick question, can I use Ruter app to travel between OSL airport and central station?

[@norwaywithpal]

Yes you can!

[@dfuzertv]

Great video! I'll be coming to Oslo next week and i would like to ask you if you suggest for a 5days visit to get the 7day ticket from Ruter or pay for the Oslo Pass which includes free public transport & the museums?

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there, it really depends a bit how many museums you plan to see. If you do the 72hours pass you probably need to enter into at least 6 sights to make it worth it.

[@zain22022]

I hope you will make Travel Map for Bergen.Thanks pal.

[@norwaywithpal]

Yes I'm planning to do so!

[@warumnicht8101]

Thank you very much for such an informative video! I have a question though: as a sort of an old school person, I wonder are there ticket machines at the bus/tram stops or in the metro? Or app and 7eleven etc. are the two options only? (writing from Reykjavik where it is almost the same + you can pay the exact amount of cash to the driver) takk!

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there, we used to have machines, but I believe all of them are gone. You can pay cash onboard bus and ferry (but you can not bring larger bills than 200 NOK, and the price will be higher)

[@manuvital9071]

Such a well done video, will definitely use your tips once I'm situated in Oslo. I'll be arriving by Ferry (another one of your informative videos!) in a few days and can't walk easily to the bus stop. Is Uber available in Oslo? Thanks again

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi Manu, glad you enjoyed the video! Uber is not very available here, but there is a taxi stand to the left outside of the ferry terminal

[@lulualvaradejo1411]

I like very much

Hi, I wonder what are the green busses seen along side the red ones? Great video of the system, greetings from Helsinki, Finland.

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks! The green buses are regional buses that has their end/start station outside of Oslo. They are only relevant if you are traveling out of Oslo

[@thornina3409]

Now, bus 81 is the only connection between Nationaltheatret and Bjørvika after 32 got shortened and changed the number to 42

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks for the update!
