Take the local train, not the xpress train, from the airport
Its only five minutes slower, but half the price!

Download the "Ruter Billett" and "Ruter Reise" apps
Its the easiest and cheapest way to buy tickets and to get around on Oslos fairly good public transport network
Getting around
Electric scooters is an effective way to get around
The current providers are Tier, Voi, Lime, Circ, Zvipp, with different prices and availability. Please be careful, and don't park them in the middle of the sidewalk as many local idiots do.
