About the Aker brygge – Vollen crossing
Fifteen sailings a week, all of them Monday to Friday, all of them in the late afternoon: three departures between 15:10 and 17:30, covering 9.5 nautical miles in 28 minutes.
That two-hour-twenty window is the entire service. The morning boats run the other way, from Vollen into the city, and this leg carries the same passengers home.
Aker brygge is the wharf below Oslo's city hall, converted from shipyard buildings in the 1980s; Vollen is on the Asker shore across the inner fjord. Ruter runs the route as part of the city's public transport, so an ordinary travel card covers a 28-minute crossing that the road round the fjord takes considerably longer to match.
