Asking for travel cost.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Norway is almost entirely cashless. When you ask for the price, be ready to pay with a card or the 'Vipps' app. Bus drivers in major cities like Oslo no longer accept cash at all. In Oslo, the price of a 'billett' depends on zones. Most of the city is Zone 1. If you ask 'Hvor mye koster billetten?', the answer will usually be for Zone 1 unless you specify otherwise. Students get significant discounts (often 40-50%) on tickets. Always follow up your price query by asking about the student price. There are rarely barriers at train stations. You are expected to have a 'billett' ready for inspection. Asking the price and buying it is a matter of personal responsibility.
Use the App
In Norway, tickets are almost always cheaper if bought via an app (like Ruter or Vy) rather than from the driver.
No Cash
Many buses and trams in cities are 'cash-free'. Don't rely on physical money even if you know the price.

The 'Hva' Shortcut
If 'Hvor mye koster' feels too long, most Norwegians just say 'Hva koster billetten?'—it's shorter and very natural.
Politeness
You don't need to say 'please' (vennligst) as much in Norwegian. A simple 'Unnskyld' (Excuse me) before the phrase is enough.
