Bus chaos has characterized Greater Oslo this winter. But as of next week, canceled departures are no longer planned. This was stated by Ruter CEO Bernt Reitan Jenssen in the city council’s transport and environment committee on Wednesday afternoon. – The exception is a supplier who runs with old diesel buses and who struggles to get them running. – They drive with the diesel buses in anticipation of a delayed delivery of electric buses, said Reitan Jenssen. It concerns buses that the company Nobina runs in Oslo south. CEO of Ruter, Bernt Reitan Jenssen.

The electric buses struggled with range in the cold. Articulated buses were left spinning on soapy roads. 25,000 departures were cancelled. Distraught passengers did not make it to work or school. On top of the bus chaos, the tram has been constantly obstructed by wrongly parked cars. Reprimanded Ruter Transport Council Marit Kristine Vea (V) has had to answer for the trouble in three meetings in a row in the city council’s transport and environment committee. Vea himself has chastised Ruter. The collective company itself presented 27 crisis measures late in January. Wednesday afternoon it was on again. Marit Vea and Ruter CEO Bernt Reitan Jenssen once again had to stand up to the city council politicians. Oslo og Megn busforening and Oslo Sporveiers Arbeiderforening (OSA) were also invited to express their opinion.
