Travel Pass Back: DSB Offers Cheap Travel in Denmark Again
For the fifth year in a row, DSB presents the travel pass, which provides access to affordable transportation by public transport throughout Denmark. After a shortened period last year due to track work, the travel pass returns this year in its full length. From June 29th to August 11th, you can once again explore Denmark using the travel pass. DSB states that the travel pass can be used for eight consecutive days, valid for buses, trains, metros, local trains, and light rails across the country. A total of 75,000 travel passes will be available from June 4th at 10 a.m. “It is a great offer for all travel enthusiasts who want to explore Denmark in new ways during the holidays,” said Charlotte Kjærulff, customer manager at DSB, in a press release. “We hope that many will find inspiration for both short and long trips in Denmark and discover new places as tourists in their own country.”
Last year, 49,728 travel passes were sold out of the 75,000 put up for sale. The travel pass was originally introduced in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic as a way to allow Danes to travel across collective transport systems when international travel was restricted. This year, a travel pass costs 399 kroner for adults, who can also take two children under 12 for free. For children between 12 and 15 years old, the price is 199 kroner, and they can bring a child up to 11 years old at no extra cost. The travel pass is the result of a collaboration between several transport companies, including BAT (Bornholm), GoCollective, DOT, FynBus, Metro, Midttrafik including the light rail, Lokaltog, Movia, Nordjyllands Trafikselskab (NT), Sydtrafik, and Skånetrafiken on the stretch between Østerport and Kastrup Airport. So, there are plenty of opportunities to explore Denmark with cheap public transport this summer.
