Ruter is the name of the company operating the majority of the public transportation system for Oslo and it’s immediate surroundings. A senior, 7 day pass for unlimited rides on busses, trams, subway and some ferries was $16.00. Ruters has an app, naturally. We bought our passes on the app. Now we have our QR code on our phones to scan whenever we board.
Bicycles (including E-bikes) and electric scooters can be readily rented. You find them parked everywhere. Same is true in all the other places we’ve been on this trip. There are apps that allow you to pay for and unlock any particular bike or scooter. This is nothing new of course. These services have been around for years.
By the way, bicycles are not nearly as prevalent here as in, say Copenhagen or anywhere in the Netherlands.
