Ticket inspections

Here you can read about ticket inspections, and complain about or postpone a fine.

Anyone who travels without a ticket causes the community a loss of tens of millions every year. This money could have been used for a better public transport service.

If you want to complain about or postbone a ticket, fill out the below form. But remember to read the information about ticket inspections first. 

Did you know:

  • You are responsible for having valid documentation if you are entitled to a discount
  • If you do not have a ticket, you will receive a fee of NOK 1150,- (NOK 950,- payment on the spot)
  • It is a criminal offense to forge tickets. If you use a false ticket, you will receive a fee of NOK 1,500.

The aim of inspections is to increase the number of paying passengers, to prevent incorrect purchases/sales, to provide guidance and to contribute to a safe travel.

Missing ID/documentation
If you have received a fine due to lack of ID and/or documentation showing that you are entitled to a discount, we can waive the fine if you visit our customer service centre with the original fine and valid ID and/or documentation within the last date for paying the fine.

Why are you contacting us?

Have you received a fine after a ticket inspection?

We know that most people want to travel with a valid ticket, and we understand that getting a fine during a ticket inspection can be an uncomfortable experience. 

The rules are as follows:

  • You are responsible for having a valid ticket when travelling. This means that you must have bought and started the ticket before going on board. The exception is if you enter in the front to buy a ticket from the driver, where possible.
  • Anyone who can’t show a valid ticket during a ticket inspection will get a fine.
  • Anyone who can’t show valid evidence that you have the right to a discount will get a fine. 

Typical cases where complaints are rejected:

  • The customer buys a ticket for themselves or others to late, such as after going onboard.
  • The customer has forgotten to renew a season ticket.
  • Vipps did not work. It is your responsibility to ensure that purchases in Vipps are completed.
