Can you buy a ticket on the bus in Aarhus?
Buy first, then board.
Short answer
No, on Aarhus city buses and on the light rail you cannot buy a ticket on board, so you must have it before you get on. In 2026 single tickets are sold in the Rejsebillet app, and you can also pay as you go with the Rejsekort app or a Basiskort. The Midttrafik app stopped selling tickets on 31 March 2026. On many regional buses you can still pay the driver in cash.
Why
- No ticket sales on Aarhus city buses or the light rail.
- Single tickets are sold in the Rejsebillet app.
- The Midttrafik app no longer sells tickets since 31 March 2026.
Details
If you cannot use an app, you can buy day tickets at the customer centre at Aarhus Rutebilstation.
Tip
Install the Rejsebillet app and set up payment before you arrive in Aarhus, so you are not stuck at the stop.
What may differ
Ticket sales channels changed in 2026, when the Midttrafik app stopped selling tickets, so check midttrafik.dk before you travel.
Common misconception
You can still buy your ticket in the Midttrafik app.
What actually happens
Ticket sales in the Midttrafik app ended on 31 March 2026; use the Rejsebillet or Rejsekort app.
