Oslo - Public Transport
Oslo has an extensive public transport system. It combines local trains, trams, subways, buses and boats in a network of connecting routes and many people prefer to use public transport rather than private cars to go to work. There are commuter routes serving most parts of the city. Season passes cover unlimited travel either monthly or yearly. To avoid congestion and pollution in the city centre, the city council's policy has for many years been to encourage the use of public transport in stead of private cars.
