Zones

The Greater Copenhagen Area is divided into different zones. At bus stops and in stations, you will find coloured zone maps by which you can calculate the fare for your journey.

The most expensive coloured zone you pass through on your journey from A to B determines the fare you have to pay. You pay for minimum two zones, maximum nine zones.

Metro, bus and train can be combined as much as you like for as long as your ticket is valid. It will say on the back of your ticket.

Cash ticket

You can buy a cash ticket for the number of zones you want to travel. Travelling in two zones (inner city area) for one hour costs DKK 23 for adults.

You can buy your ticket at the counter inside the ticket office or in the machines inside the stations. If you take the bus, you can buy your ticket from the driver, but bring coins, not notes.

Bring your bike for free

Every first Sunday of the month in 2010 you can ride the S-trains for free, and you can bring your bike on board the S-trains in Copenhagen and North Sealand free of charge.

Night fares

Ticket and 10-trip card fares are doubled if you board the Metro, train or night buses between 01:00 and 05:00.

24-hour ticket

If you plan to travel a lot, you can buy a FlexCard for seven or 30 days for two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or all zones. The FlexCard gives you unlimited travel and can be shared between persons, although not at the same time.
