Bus, tram, subway and boat routes are reduced in the Oslo area due to the Coronavirus epidemic. The change accounts for about 15 percent of public transport.

Routes indicate that the reduction in public transport is being done to keep traffic going.

“We prioritize important departures and want consistent traffic for everyone around the clock. Many important positions work shifts, and the reduced route offer takes this into account,” the company says.

The subway has added departures on lines 2 and 3, and line 1 runs only to Helsfyr. The tram changes from departures every 10 minutes to every 15 minutes, while there are fewer departures on most bus routes.

The route changes are valid from the 23rd of March.
