Bøler is a station on Østensjøbanen (line 3) on Norway's Oslo T-bane system between the stations of Ulsrud and Bogerud, 9.2 km from Stortinget. The station opened as a subway station on October 29, 1967, but rail service to Bøler started already in 1958 as part of the city's tram network.[1][2]
The Bøler neighborhood is residential which was developed as a suburb during the late 1950s and 1960s. The old farm at Bøler lies next to the station and is preserved.[3] The station itself has the common layout of two side platforms. The road Utmarkveien passes directly above the station by means of a road bridge. Criticism has been raised over the station's dilapidated condition, but funds for renovation went to other subway stations in 2005.[4]
