Transportation deserves top marks for safety, comfort, and punctuality.
In terms of intra-city transportation, you can get anywhere in the city by bus, streetcar, or subway. Another special public transportation in Oslo is the ferries, which can take you to the islands of the Oslo Fjord, as well as other Norwegian cities.
Everything here works surprisingly smoothly, with intervals of traffic not exceeding 10 minutes. However, there is a downside - Oslo public transport is not cheap. The city has a single-ticket system, and you can purchase a single-ride ticket or a day, week, or 30-day pass.
The cost depends on the fare zone and the age of the passenger. For example, a regular single adult ticket in zone 1 costs 30 NOK, while a child ticket is half the price. A daily pass requires payment of 90 NOK for adults and 45 NOK for children. Taxis operate only within the city and come at a decent cost.
Buy single-use tickets at special kiosks - they cost more from the driver. To save as much as possible, buy a 24, 48, or 72-hour Oslo Pass travel card to minimize your spending on travel, museums, and discounts at some cafes and even car rentals.
If you're traveling in the warmer months, consider hiking or renting a bike, especially since the main attractions here are concentrated in the city center.
