There’s no option to pay at the website, and despite what the website says, paying via Vy or Entur is not available. Apple pay also isn’t an option. Additionally, some bus routes do not allow for paying onboard in cash. What all this means is that if the app refuses to process your card and you don’t have Vipps, there’s literally no way to buy a bus ticket. Apparently there’s no place in Oslo where a person could purchase a travel card to ride. (The kundesenter is in Drammen.) Absurd!

Because of coronavirus, you can no longer approach the driver to pay for a ticket in person on the bus, necessitating the use of this app. The only two payment methods in the app are Visa or MasterCard, and the first card I tried to use (a MasterCard credit card) would encounter payment failure so I had to use my MasterCard debit card instead. You have to type out all your credit card data, as well. There is no excuse in 2021 why a public transport company’s application doesn’t support Apple Pay.
