Torp airport is not exactly near Oslo but about 120 km south near Sandefjord. Oslo's Gardermoen airport is bigger and closer (approx. 50 km north of the city).
The big advantage of Torp airport however, is that the low-fare-carrier Ryanair serves it from several destinations. Flights can be a real bargain. This made it the second-largest airport of Norway with more than a million passengers per year.
And don't worry about the transfer. There is a bus service in cooperation with Ryanair from the airport to Oslo. The transfer time is about 1h45min. The busses of the company Torp Expressen leave the airport 30 minutes after plane arrival. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: + 47 33427002Website: www.torp.no

 Trafikanten, entrance in
the bottom of clock tower by ruffen
You can also take one of them across the Oslo border - tell the driver where you are heading (maybe he can tell you when to get off too?) if you have a valid Oslo-ticket show driver it, and you only pay from the Oslo border and to your stop. NB - at the subway you have to do this entering the station.
.
Where to buy tickets?
Some stops have a ticket machine, all subway stations, all Narvesen kiosks, some 7-eleven and a few "private" kiosks. At Trafikanten at Jernbanetorget down town (se photo) you can by all kind of tickets.
At Trafikanten you can also get free maps of Oslo and time tables + from january 2006 the Tourist Information opened a desk there too :o)
.
You stamp the ticket in machine inside transportation (some busses you have to enter at front and driver stamps), subway at entrance!!!
Valid for 1 hour after stamped - travel as much as you can:-)
At most buses you have to enter in front and show your valid ticket.

 Public Ferry No. 91 - Bygdoy by HORSCHECKLeave a Comment

I used the subway here when travelling around the city. The cost was slightly higher then other European cities but as here there is only random check for tickets, if you are on a budget, you can take your risk and try skipping the cost :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

Also remember that singletickets bought by the driver are more expencive than if you buy them from a machine or vendor before entering (don't ask me how someone can come up with such an idiotic idea...)
Prices in NOK, adults:
Singleticket (bought onboard): 30,-
Singleticket (bought in advance): 20,-
Flexicard (8 tickets): 150,-
Daycard (24 hours): 55,-
Monthcard: 660,-
3monthscard: 1650,-
Children are normally half the price of adults.
You can also buy a Oslopass instead, which gives you free transportation, free entrance to museums and discounts on plenty of things. For more info check out my %L[http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/18b41/3462a/1/
