TAXI
There are taxi stands at Oslo S, shopping centres and city squares, but any taxi with a lit
sign is available for hire. Otherwise, phone Norgestaxi ( 08000; www.norgestaxi.no ) or
Oslo Taxi ( 02323; www.oslotaxi.no ) , but note that the meter starts running at the point of
dispatch! Oslo taxis accept major credit cards.
T-BANE
The six-line Tunnelbanen underground system, better known as the T-bane, is faster and
extends further from the city centre than most city bus lines. All lines pass through the Na-
tionaltheatret, Stortinget and Jernbanetorget (for Oslo S) stations. Tickets for trips in zone
1 (most of the city centre) cost adult/child Nkr30/15 if bought from a sales point in ad-
vance (ticket machine, 7-Eleven, Narvesen and Trafikanten).
