The population of Oslo is expected to double over the next two decades. Political and community concern about energy consumption, congestion, and quality of life have made improving and expanding the public transport system a very high priority in the city and region. Oslo Package 3 is a financing plan for public transport and road infrastructure improvements over the next 20 years. The package is primarily funded (75%) by cordon tolls assessed on motorists. The package totals US$9 billion, half of which will be allocated to new public transport infrastructure, major upgrades of existing lines, maintenance, and operations. Public transport in Oslo includes bus, metro, tram, train, and ferry services. |
