 This was in part because NSB operated with a standard price based on the length of the line, and the line was longer than the corresponding roads.After a while NSB's board accepted that tickets be priced as if they were the length of the road, and the price was reduced to NOK 1.10.Because of competition from truck drivers picking up random passengers for NOK 0.75, the price was then reduced to NOK 0.80 in 1927.
