We won the DOGA award!

Every year, DOGA Norway honours the best design and architecture in Norway. Our team at Ruter were totally thrilled to receive this years award. Together with Bakken & Bæck and NoA Ignite, we’ve have been working on a new digital visual universe and a completely new mobility app designed to help millions of travellers on a daily basis.

This is what the DOGA jury has to say:

“The app is clearly the result of good design management, resulting in a friendly and warm product. Underneath the surface, however, hides the intricate coding that manages to capture the whole of Ruter’s complex services in an intuitive and attractive interface.

We are also charmed by how the app gently nudges the user into choosing to walk or bicycle, and we want to applaud Ruter for thinking holistically around seamless mobility on the traveler’s terms.

Ruter’s new travel app is awarded the DOGA award for design and architecture as a long-awaited service that is skilfully designed and executed down to the last detail.”

The new app!

Every day over a million people in the greater Oslo area interact with Ruter through their apps, website, and countless transit points. Travellers demand greater convenience, speed, and freedom while expecting every product to be simple, seamless, and frictionless. Our ambition is to connect people to the city by offering a personalised experience across a digital platform so that we can provide freedom of mobility to everyone.

Building a new app from scratch, we wanted to combine previously separate features like route planning and ticketing while at the same time creating a new design system that can scale future unknowns and new means of transportation. We also experimented with features to incentivise walking and biking.

The app is simple to use and designed with special attention to accessibility and inclusion for its many, and diverse users. Thousands of travellers have already tested the new Ruter app, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you in 2021.
