Public Transportation
In the Copenhagen area (covering most of North Zealand) we have S-trains and buses,
where you can use the same ticket, as well as in the metro.
In the Danish ticket system, you buy an hour’s access to the system. The basic ticket
costs DKK 19 and is equivalent to 2 “zones”. The time is stamped on the ticket. For that
hour you can go anywhere you want, back and forth, and switch from bus to train to
metro.
You can also buy “klippekort” with 2 to 7 zones (7 zones being the max). You can buy
these cards at every train station and in most supermarkets and Kiosks, but not in the bus.
If you are going the same distance by public transportation every day it will be cheaper to
buy a monthly pass. They can be bought at every train station.
Before you enter a bus, train or the metro be sure to have a valid ticket or to stamp your
“klippekort”. If you do not there will be a DKK 600 fine!!!!
Buses
They all have signs with their number and their destination. You can buy tickets from the
driver. Boarding may only take place at the front entrance.
During the week the buses run from approx. 5 am until 12.30 am.
Special night buses operate from “Rådhuspladsen” at reduced frequency until 4.30 am.
You must note that the double amount of money or clips is charged in these busses.
Trains
The S-trains connect the city center with the suburbs. They leave at an interval of 10 to
20 minutes. The first time you go on it ask at the station to explain the zone system, so
that you are sure you have the right ticket.
Metro
For the time being the Metro covers a limited part of Copenhagen. The Metro runs 24
hours a day. In the daytime approx. every 3-4 minutes, and at night approx. every 15
minutes.
