How it works
Unofficial taxis approach arrivals at Oslo Gardermoen claiming fixed rates to the city that are competitive, but charge 2–3x normal rates by taking long routes or adding hidden surcharges at journey's end.
How it works
Travelers pay for the premium Flytoget Airport Express (around NOK 230) when the slower NSB/Vy commuter train goes to the same Oslo S station for NOK 105 or less. Flytoget staff never mention the cheaper option.
