There are way too many cars in Copenhagen, cause of high public transit ticket prices, lack of trams, and terrible bike infrastructure.

[@ncard00]

Copenhagen desperatly needs trams in the city centre. The metro hasn’t reduced car traffic in the city centre at all, all the busses still running get stuck in traffic all the time, and Copenhagen also has the busiest bus line in all of nothern europe, the 5C, with 15 million riders, after covid, but instead, a light rail line is being built in the suburbs, replacing a busline with only 3 million annual riders.

[@CopenhagenRailProductions]

As a resident (and transport nerd) of Copenhagen, i know a lot about the public transport. Here's 3 facts that i often get the "u wot" in british train people i know: The Ansaldo Breda (Now Hitatchi Rail Italy) Driverless Metro trains, were first introduced in here in Copenhagen in 2002. Since then, they've made the same model for other cities, such as Milano in Italy and soon, Toronto in Canada. Currently, we have generation 1 running on M1 and M2, Generation 5 on M3 and M4, and Generation 6 on M1 and M2. (The latter entered service last year) The Train you rode from the Airport to Ørestad station, is the Øresundståg, the last train built of the Flexliner family, originaly invented by DSB Design Architects in the 1980s. Within this design, is the IC3 DMU and the IR4 EMU. The two can couple into one consist, making DSB the ONLY train operator in the world to have Diesel trains and Electric trains coupled in one consist on a daily basis, and has done so for over 20 years! Just a few of many facts i know about our unique public transport system

[@panoschrys9917]

you also forgot thessaloniki because our metro will have the same trains!

[@CopenhagenRailProductions]

@@panoschrys9917 i only found out 2 weeks ago that Thessaloniki will have this type of train as well.

Thumbs up for a very accurate video of the Copenhagen public transportation, from a lokal busdriver.

[@RobeTrotting]

Thank you Lars, much appreciated and thank you for watching :)

[@MIB_63]

One of the advantages of living in Copenhagen is that you don't need a car to get around. You can get from A to B in no time by bus/train/boat. Cars are quite expensive here in Copenhagen compared to the US and sometimes costs as much as renting a place. I live in the Copenhagen area and have never owned a car and don't plan to own one.

[@RobeTrotting]

So true, and parking is expensive too!

[@ncard00]

But the S train system needs an expresstunnel, to greatly reduce travel time, increase capacity, and serve the Copenhagen main hospital with proper rapid transit, compared to the current bus lines, which are overcrowded and delayed all the time.

[@HailHeidi]

Thank you so much for the info!!

[@RobeTrotting]

Love to help 👍

[@Lorentari]

All of Denmarks public transport is a fully integrated system btw - All of it is zone-based

[@ncard00]

Which is stupid, cause then the shortest and longest trip within a zone cost the same, or if when re enter a zone, on a longer journey, it costs less than a longer journey that takes less time.

[@kendallljo]

As an American, our public transport is not as efficient/accessible, so I find trying to navigate transportation in different countries a little intimidating. I’m planning a trip for later this month, so this video was very informative and helpful. Thank you!!

[@RobeTrotting]

Hope you have/had a wonderful trip 😊

A great video. As a bit of a public transport nerd, I was geeking out all over the place at these great transit options. Sadly, I live in a very car-dependent city, so thanks for sharing the highlights of your adopted town. Plus the bucket of beer!

[@EvanLindemuth]

I've been to Copenhagen every year ( other than COVID years) since 2018 and LOVE the public transportation system. I'm excited to show my partner what it's all about when we visit at the end of June. His first time to Europe.

[@RobeTrotting]

That’s awesome! Really excited for you guys - maybe we’ll run into you! 😊

[@MulleMap]

A very nice things is that in copenhagen the s-trains that goes into the city centre also goes to almost the middle of zealand and that is why copenhagen keeps grpwing and growing😊😊

[@kbqvist]

Great video, very well researched and executed!

[@RobeTrotting]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed this one - it was really fun for us to put together :)

[@allenculpepper9553]

The M4 line wasn’t open yet when I was there. Looks like it is a good addition. Although I didn’t have any trouble getting around using public transit, I was a bit puzzled about why the M1 and M2 seemed to follow basically the same route.

[@drdewott9154]

Well the M1 and M2 was built as one system, sharing the same line in the heart of the city where the demand is strongest, and splitting apart once on the island of Amager to serve different parts of the island. The M1 serves the western part that has been reclaimed from the sea in the past. That area features the brand new "Ørestad" neighborhood. The idea of the Metro in Copenhagen is that 1/3rd of the construction costs will be paid back through sale of land along the lines to developers while the remaining 2/3rds will come through ticket sales and be paid back to the government to pay back the loan used to build the lines. However they've never been able to sell enough land at a high enough price to cover their share of the costs, partially due to the land selling for lower than anticipated, and because of stuff like endagered animal species being found on undeveloped pieces of land near the Metro. So the development agency has to find more pieces of land elsewhere to pay back their share, which in many cases is far from the Metro, or involves overturning government nature protection through lobbying. Either way they cannot receive high enough profits from land sales in these new areas without promising a Metro line there too, and so the cycle continues. In that sense the Copenhagen Metro has turned into a Ponzi scheme of constantly passing on the costs that none of the authorities are willing to pay.

[@allenculpepper9553]

Interessant! Tak for informationen.

[@mercykaruchia]

@@drdewott9154 ,wow! Thank you for this information..

[@a.westenholz4032]

@@drdewott9154 Kind of shows the weakness of modern type of financing- not having it fully locked in but that much of it is in fact based on speculation and prone to failure. So not only are project costs often underestimated, but their financing projections overestimated with little buffering room given in the budget.

[@ulrikbro-jrgensen1542]

I like to add. U are allowed to bring ur bike on the trains, which is super flexible. On S-trains it is free, on other trains like Metro and Regional u need pay about half a ticket price i think. Fine for beeing caught without valid card/ticket are huge, I think over 50 euros for bike and 100 for human. The S-trains are recognizable, they are all red, so first train u used was strictly speaking a Regional. And of course u can get to Refshale Øen from CPH airport by public transportation in less than half an hour, if using a more direct route.

[@RobeTrotting]

I definitely said it was not the S-Tog, but then discussed the S-Tog a bit so maybe that was confusing 🙈

[@ud7149]

Does the citypass also allows to use the trains? (tog)

[@RobeTrotting]

Yes, all buses, trains and metro services in the capital are included in City Pass Small, Large and X-Large. There are other expansion tickets, City Pass Syd and Vest, where you can travel freely on all public transport within the specified coverage areas. Check out the site for the maps.

[@LYNNEBUCHER]

We use Donkey Republic and they have e-bikes, you can do a weekly rental for 289 dkk (245 dkk with the discount code, or 33€). I haven’t compared all the other companies. Tier is the other main one but their prices aren’t listed online.

[@Silasdorch]

i haven't watch all you guys' videos... yet. i just wanna say that here we don't have 12 grades/classes in school instead we have kindergarten until your 5/6 years old. then when you start in school then you start in 0th grade, and you graduate in 9th grade. also in school we don't go the different class after a break. (idk if you do that in the us. I've just heard that) so instead walking to different classes we stay in a group the whole school. (only speaking from experience). in the school i went to we only mixed class when we had *håndværk og design (woodwork)* or *madkundskab (cooking)*. just wanted to let you know if you didn't know.

[@MsZoeParker]

how does a copenhagen card compare to a hop on hop off bus if you're only there for a day or two?

[@RobeTrotting]

The hop on hop off version does not include public transportation - you can ride the buses along their routes and schedule, but the public transport system runs 24 hours and is definitely more convenient. All the attractions that Derek does in the city center (in our Copenhagen Card video) are included with both versions :)

@@RobeTrotting how can I find the stops for the public transit? It looks like my hotel is about a 8 minute walk to the nearest public stop, but the hop on stops right there.

[@martinskovpoulsen2736]

@@mercykaruchia I would recommend taking the train from the airport to Aarhus, but if you do have to use Flixbus you have to go to the central station and walk to the bus stop in Ingerslevsgade. It's a hassle though and you don't save that much money compared to the train

Great plug for CPH! No needs for car. Fun Metro facts: it’s one of only three or four 24/7/365 metro’s in the world, it was built with skylights to make it feel safer (not descending into the underground- and it works), it does not have a holding area below as you walk directly to/from the platform to either your train or back up (again making it much safer - no long unsavoury tunnels etc.), it has the shortest distance from street entrance to train door of any metro in the world.

Thank you for telling about the bike rules, much appreciated 👍It is also possible to take a bicycle with you on all public transport if you get tired of cycling even on buses, but be aware, it is the bus driver who decides whether there is space for your bicycle or not. However, there is a time frame, such as rush hour, when this is not possible. This video was good and informative 👍🙂 Could you make a video about how Copenhagen got house numbers?
