Oslo Transportation Tips by Pakistaniguy

Local Buses in Oslo

Most buses and trams converge at Jernbanetorget which is the Oslo main railway station. Most westernly buses going to Viggeland parken or Bygdoy also stop at National Theatre. But the major problem is that Oslo is not a very densely popullated city so the buses do not come after every five minutes of so, especially at night. At around mid night all the buses and trams stop.
