Rail travel on the Sorlandet Line offers city-center arrival at Oslo Central Station, avoiding the transit time from Oslo Airport. Buses are available with frequent departures but often take longer due to traffic on the E18 highway. Flights between Kristiansand Kjevik and Oslo Gardermoen are fast in the air but involve airport security and check-in procedures. The train provides a balance of speed and the ability to work or rest with onboard power outlets.
