Norway
has a very efficient public transport system consisting of
Bus, Tram, Trains, Ferry and Metro. You can take pets, cycle and baby stroller,
inside all public transport vehicles. For elderly people, small kids and pregnant
women, the bus, tram or Metro driver will take extra care to ensure that they
have on-boarded or de-boarded safely, before moving ahead.
As
on Feb 2013, a single prepaid ticket cost 30 NOK (50 NOK if purchased on
onboard), valid for 1 hour across all means of transport, within Zone 1 - Oslo.
An unlimited zone-1 travel, monthly pass costs 630 NOK.
Note that the rates for monthly pass varies, based on zones. However, kids less than 4 years of age can travel free & 50% discount is available to senior citizens and students (with Norwegian Student ID). On weekends, upto 4 children or dog, can travel free with a full fare paying adult.
All the public transport is managed by a single private company called Ruter. You can visit the following Transport websites to figure out public transport to reach to any source to destination in Norway: Ruter
