New Copenhagen metropolitan railway loop will have limited mobile service to start

Danish telecom operators say that when the new stretch of the Copenhagen metropolitan railway network Cityringen opens on 29 September, there will only be limited mobile communications coverage. Copenhagen metropolitan railway

The 17km line, which includes 15.5km underground, forms a ring around the city centre and connects with the city’s three other metro lines as well as the S-Train suburban network. The 17 new stations will connect Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro, Østerbro and the inner city.

The operators are investing DKK 50 million on service on the new loop. The aim is for passengers to be able to talk, text and use the internet at underground stations, on trains and at street level.
In the future, services on the line will be partially augmented with the opening of the M4, which will run from Copenhagen H to Nordhavn and Orientka, and is due to be completed in 2030.

Tickets, fares, and discounts

In the Greater Copenhagen Area, you can transfer freely between buses, Metro, trains and the yellow “harbour bus” using the same tickets and discount cards. Copenhagen metropolitan railway

Regular tickets can be purchased from vending machines and ticket offices. On buses, you can get a regular ticket from the driver. Only Danish currency is accepted and only cash – the drivers carry only small change.

Copenhagen is divided into transport zones. The centre of the city and the inner suburbs of Frederiksberg, Østerbro, Vesterbro, Christianshavn, and Islands Brygge are all located within zones 1 and 2. This means that when travelling around the city by public transport, you basically need a 2-zone ticket (DKK 24).

If you are travelling anywhere outside the centre or inner suburbs, you need to purchase extra zones. When going from the centre to the airport, you need 3 zones.

You can also get a City Pass for zones 1, 2, 3, and 4. There are two types: 24 hours for DKK 80 and 72 hours for DKK 200. Finally, a 24 Hour Travel Card entitles you to unlimited transport in the Greater Copenhagen Area/all zones (DKK 130). These types of cards are available at train stations and at the Visitors Centre.

Alternatively, you can buy a Copenhagen Card which apart from the free transport in all zones also gives you free entrance to most museums and attractions. There are four types of CPH Cards: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 120 hours. Ask at your hotel or at the Visitors Centre.
