Last March, the national rail operator DSB pledged that ticket prices would fall in the future. But on January 20, commuters will instead see an increase when hopping on public transport.
DSB’s annual ticket price adjustment means that passengers in Zealand can look forward to average price hikes of about 2.1 percent when taking the bus, train and Metro.
Additionally, prices will also go up on the Rejsekort travel card, Pendlerkort commuter cards and single tickets for journeys in Funen and Jutland, while the voyage across the Øresund Bridge will also rise by an average of about 2.7 percent.
