[edit] Environmental impact

Despite that Oslopakke 3 has been presented as an environmental project that will save the public transport in the Oslo area, doubt has been raised as to the actual impact of the project. In a report ordered by the Norwegian Society of Chartered Scientific and Academic Professionals by the consulting company Civitas that the emission of greenhouse gases will increase with 50% in the period 1991-2025 with Oslopakke 3, despite the Oslo City Council having voted to reduce emissions wiht 50% from 1990-level by 2030.^[1]
