Storo is a mixed commercial and residential area, and a shopping center is located just north of the subway station.

[1] The process of establishing a Ring Line to serve the northern parts of Oslo started in the late 1980s.

[2] The plans were passed by the city council in 1997,[3] and financing was secured in 2000 through Oslo Package 2.

South of Storo, the metro tracks run parallel with the Gjøvik Line.

[8] On the other side of the tracks, about 200 metres (660 ft) away is Grefsen Station on the Gjøvik Line.

It is served every 40 minutes by NSB Gjøvikbanen services of the Oslo Commuter Rail towards Nittedal, Hadeland and Gjøvik.

The Norwegian National Rail Administration is planning to move the station platform to allow direct transfer.

It has traditionally been easily accessible by car due to being located along Ring 3, a major highway.

Lines 23 and 24 along Ring 3 from Lysaker to Simensbråten, and Brynseng to Fornebu stops at Storo.
