Who is Fornebubanen Being Built For? A Study of the Spatial and Social Distribution of Fornebubanen's Effects.

Areas in western Oslo and Bærum are primarily experiencing an increase in public transport accessibility as a result of Fornebubanen, specifically in terms of the number of jobs that can be reached within a 30-minute commute using public transportation. Certain neighborhoods near the city center ring on the metro network, such as Grønland/Tøyen, Sinsen, and Nydalen, are also seeing improved accessibility. All income groups in Oslo and Bærum are experiencing an increase in public transport accessibility due to the Fornebu Line. However, households with the highest incomes are seeing a greater increase in accessibility than others. At the same time, those with the lowest incomes are experiencing slightly higher growth than those with medium incomes. All housing price groups (price per square meter) are experiencing an increase in public transport accessibility. Homes with the highest square meter prices are seeing a significantly larger increase than those with lower price levels. This is particularly evident in Bærum due to the extensive development of new housing in Fornebu.
