Lavprisekspressen (long distance bus routes) offers tickets between Oslo and Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen, Oslo and Kristiansand, Oslo through Gotenburg to Copenhagen from 49 NOK (which is a little over 6 euros). The offer is not time limited, but you have to book and pay online in advance, and you have to book early for a better chance on the cheapest tickets. The bus doesn't stop at stops where noone has booked tickets, so you have to book at least 2 hours prior to the departure. Prices vary depending on how early you book and how many seats are available, but the more expensive tickets are not really expensive eighter :) The busses are very modern and very comfortable double deckers. I recommend it to anybody who are looking for a cheap form of transportation from Oslo to "nearby" cities in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Check out the website for schedules and reservations.

There is a drawback, the website is in Norwegian. But it is very universal in its design so I reckon most people will be able to find their way around it. I tried to put inn an extensive translation from Norwegian to English here but I wasn't allowed to use more than 2000 charaters. So I posted it as 2 comments below. Enjoy :)

With the "Minipris" ticket you can travel on NSB's regional trains in Norway to any destination (also including Gothenburg in Sweden) for only NOK 199 (or 299 if the cheapest tickets are sold out) You could travel from, say, Bergen to Bodø for 199!! (The journey would take quite a while, though;o) This is a VERY good buy in expensive Norway... :o) (A normal price ticket Bergen - Bodø would cost almost NOK 1500)

The offer is valid for a limited number of seats, on selected departures only. Tickets must be booked online, or from NSB's ticket machines - at least 1 day in advance (and max 90 days). No changes/refunds.

I have searched for minipris tickets several times, and they're actually not that difficult to get hold of.
