Subway Train

Siemens, Germany's industrial major, is currently supplying Oslo’s subway system with environmentally friendly trains that consume 30 percent less energy than the old units. In Oslo, it was important for Siemens to be able to ensure operational safety for the subway system even at extreme subzero temperatures. A couple of other things were necessary as well: effective heating system, windshield defrosters and a robust construction that would be able to handle heavy snow loads. Deliveries of the new subway trains are scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2009. Source

Ullevål Subway Station

This photo was taken at the subway station of Ullevål, the place where you'll find the national football statium of Norway (mind, it is actually not "subway", however, Norwegians call it subway).

Grønland Subway Station

You have already seen the subway station of Nydalen. Today you see the Grønland subway station, eastern downtown Oslo.

City Bus

No blemish, no graffiti. City Buses here in Oslo are anything but decrepit. They are not just very new, but always well-kept.

Nydalen Subway Station

Oslo's rapid transit system is called T-bane, and Nydalen is one of its most recent stations, located on the Circle Line. It is also the only underground station on the west of Nationaltheatret (just 16 of 105 T-bane stations are underground). In a departure from convention, it has a central platform with tracks on both sides rather than separate platforms on both sides of the track. The picture shows an arriving MX3000 multiple unit, which is custom made for Oslo's climate by Siemens and Porsche.
