The buses will run via Bragernes torg and Nedre Strandgate, and get a new stop at Bragernes strand. On weekdays there will be eight departures per hour. Four of the departures will go all the way to Mjøndalen, and four will have their final stop at Sørensvingen. The line will have a route along fv 283 Rosenkrantzgata and will serve Åssiden vgs, Farmen, and Vårveien.
On Saturdays, there will be four departures per hour to Sørensvingen and two to Mjøndalen. On Sundays, all departures go to Mjøndalen and run twice an hour. - Line 2 Gulskogen – Kastanjesletta takes over the bus service for Gulskogen (line 25) and Kastanjesletta (line 3).
