The reduction does not affect the validity rules, transfer options, or ticket sales channels, which remain available in the app, on the card, and with selected carriers. The adjustment follows recent fare changes in Oslo, where in previous months the attractiveness of period tickets compared to purchasing multiple single rides was emphasized.
The rules for period tickets remain unchanged: the 30-day ticket is valid from activation until the end of its validity period and covers the metro, trams, buses, and Vy trains in Oslo and Akershus. Transfers are possible within the purchased zones as long as the ticket is valid at the time of boarding. Ruter maintains the discount structure for children, seniors, and students, and indicates approximate thresholds for cost-effectiveness – a 30-day ticket is advantageous for about 30 rides per month.
