    More than 100 million trips were taken on the S-train in 2024

    ·

    In 2024, the number of trips made on Denmark’s S-train network reached 112.1 million, according to reports by DSB to TV 2 Kosmopol. This number refers to the total number of individual journeys made by passengers, and of course not the number of rides made by the trains themselves.

    It´s an average of 300,000 trips a day. This marks a 6% increase in travel compared to the previous year.

    “As more and more people choose the S-train, it highlights the competitiveness of our service for the hundreds of thousands who rely on it daily,” said Aske Wieth-Knudsen, Deputy Director at DSB.

    The peak travel day occurred on Friday, November 29, with 451,704 passengers. DSB attributes this surge to the combined effects of Black Friday shopping and festive Christmas lunches.
