- Stor-Oslo Lokaltrafikk
Stor-Oslo Lokaltrafikk or SL was the
public transport administration forbus andferry transport inAkershus ,Norway from 1973 to 2007. SL was organised as a limited company owned by theAkershus county municipality , the City of Oslo, and theNorwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications , with a third each. The company planned, marketed and organised the public transport in Akershus, but did not operate any buses or ferries—instead it issued contracts to operating companies based onpublic service obligation s (OPS).The company was created in 1973 in part to help coordinate the public transport around Oslo. The metropolitan area of Oslo stretches beyond the city limits into the county of Akershus. This had created problems coordinating public transport between the counties. From 1 January 2008 the new company
Ruter takes care of public transport in Oslo and Akershus.All buses operated on contract for SL were uniformly painted green and SL took care of marketing and customer relations for the bus companies. The companies that operate for SL at the time of the merger was
Nettbuss ,Norgesbuss ,Schau's Buss ,Schøyens Bilcentraler ,Veolia Transport Norway andUniBuss . In addition ferries were operated byNesodden-Bundefjord Dampskipsselskap andSandvika Fjordturer .External links
