No longer usable

I wasted international data to download this app only to see a message saying it can no longer be used. They should remove it from the App Store. The correct app is just called Ruter.

Functions, no payment issues but critique of ticketing policy.

No issues with payment, used a US Barclays Mastercard in Apple Pay. I'm annoyed that one can no longer purchase 'billetter for ekstra soner' or 'additional zone tickets' for non-app tickets. I prefer having physical tickets in case my phone dies, however I got on the boat to Nesoddtangen and realised it wasn't covered by my existing tickets, so I purchased some in the app. This is no longer possible with these updates and now I would have to find a ticket machine to add on the supplements.

Use PayPal

It works if you use PayPal. It doesn’t have to be linked your debit card.

A little one liner for tourists to try using PayPal would be helpful. Maybe in the error message.

It doesn’t accept the credit cards

Does not accept any of my Visa or MasterCards. I tried several times. So what’s the point, developers?

Won’t accept credit cards

Won’t accept credit cards not from Europe. Considering Oslo is trying to be a international city this is a pretty major flaw.

Doesn’t work

The other reviews are correct. Doesn’t work properly with ApplePay and can’t input other payment methods. Burn this app and start over please.

Good!

Good for getting tickets!!

Did not take Pay Pal/Apple Pay/All cards

Contrary to the positive reviews below, the app did not take my pay pal, Apple Pay, and any of my cards. We ended up driving to Oslo and paying the ridiculous cost for parking.

Doesn’t work w US card, Apple Pay or Paypal

Useless

Works With Apple Pay

I see many of the reviews note the inability to pay using North American credit cards. It has been working for me with Apple Pay.

Awful

Doesn’t take US credit cards.

Also note that Apple Pay doesn’t work (doesn’t recognize cards already added to wallet - won’t let you add a new one to satisfy app requirements; doesn’t matter if visa, Amex, etc.)

Basically worthless, bad design.

Totally Useless - and buses only take cash

This app is useless without a Norwegian credit card. Total garbage. And a warning - buses don’t take cards.

Does Not Work

The app simply doesn’t work. I tried multiple methods of payment, some said they failed, others just went to a white screen and did nothing. I see now why the app has 1.5 stars. It’s fundamentally broken.

Works fine with Apple Pay

I looked up this app to get a ticket for Oslo and it has 1.4 star rating, mostly because people
Say it doesn’t accept foreign credit cards. It works perfectly fine with any credit card when using Apple Pay without the hasse to enter any data. Except for a password I have no clue why it should be required.

Apple Pay doesn’t work either

Not useful for non-Scandinavian travelers.

Oslo NO Tram

As an American, it worked just fine ... with PayPal payment there were no hitches.

It does take PayPal

This app does everything I need from a transit app. It collects nearby stations and allows purchase of tickets and can display expired tickets in case your ticket expires during a trip. You can use PayPal or apple pay to buy tickets even if you don't have a Norwegian credit card.

Works with PayPal

I tried a few US credit cards and like everyone else, the app wouldn’t take. However, I did find that linking my PayPal account worked perfectly (which is in itself linked to my Bank of America credit card)—was able to pay for my bus/tram fares without issues.

US CREDIT CARDS

There’s an option to pay through PayPal. It will take any of your cards including American Express. I couldn’t get the Apple Pay to work but PayPal worked beautifully!

Taking foreign credit cards is a must, public transport is not JUST for Norwegian citizens

Loads of people without Norwegian bank cards use ruter services daily. Why not give them the option to pay? Makes no sense, unless it’s a tax thing
