Mortensrud

Mortensrud is a terminus of Oslo Metro Line 3, located in the Søndre Nordstrand district. Construction of the station began in 1995, and it entered service on November 24, 1997, although the official opening did not take place until January 1998. The station is built from concrete, red brick, steel, natural stone, and wood, with facades designed so that climbing plants can grow up them. A curved wood-and-glass roof structure arches over the western platform. The station sits one level below the surrounding street level and is fully accessible, with a direct, step-free connection to the adjacent bus stops.

For visitors and commuters, Mortensrud is not only an important rapid transit hub but also a central bus terminal for the entire district. Several feeder routes stop here, connecting to Bjørndal, Dal, and Brenna, as do the terminals of routes 74 and 76. The station is right next to a shopping center, making it a convenient transfer point for everyday errands. The ride to the city center takes about 24 minutes. South of the station is a turnaround facility for trains, which also leaves room for a possible future extension of the line.
