Oslo Metro

The Oslo Metro is a rapid-transit network serving Oslo and nearby municipalities in Norway. It is operated by Sporveien and combines underground city routes with suburban lines.

Common Tunnel: The central underground section where Oslo Metro lines converge before branching toward the suburbs. It carries the network’s main city-center trunk through central Oslo.
Oslo Metro lines: The named routes that make up the Oslo Metro network. Their branches organize service from the shared central tunnel to outlying districts.
Holmenkollen Line: A suburban railway opened in 1898 between central Oslo and the Holmenkollen area. It is one of the older railways later incorporated into the metro network.
Ruter: The public transport authority responsible for coordinating services in Oslo and Akershus. Ruter plans and markets metro services alongside buses, trams, and ferries.
T-bane: The Norwegian term for Oslo’s metro system and its services. The network is commonly called T-bane in Norwegian, short for tunnelbane.
Oslo Metro stations: Passenger stops served by Oslo Metro trains across Oslo and nearby municipalities. Stations connect the network to neighborhoods, transport hubs, and destinations.
Østensjø Line: An Oslo Metro line serving the city’s southeastern suburbs. Its development formed part of the early expansion of rapid transit into eastern Oslo.
Sporveien: The municipal company that operates Oslo’s metro and tram services and manages much of their infrastructure. Sporveien runs the metro trains and maintains the network’s infrastructure.
Third Rail: An electrified rail alongside or between running rails that supplies power to trains. Oslo Metro trains draw electrical power from a third rail.
Oslo: The capital and most populous city of Norway, situated at the head of the Oslofjord. The metro’s central routes serve Oslo’s urban core.
