Can you take a bike on the Aarhus light rail?

Free, with a rush-hour limit and no cargo bikes.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, you can take an ordinary bike, a folding bike or a scooter on the Aarhus light rail for free. On line L2 between Skolebakken and Universitetshospitalet bikes are not allowed on weekdays at 07.00–08.30 and 15.00–17.00. The bike must stand in the flex area, which is shared with prams and wheelchairs on a first-come basis. Cargo bikes, adult tricycles and bike trailers are not allowed.

Why

  1. Bikes and scooters ride free.
  2. No bikes on L2 Skolebakken–Universitetshospitalet on weekdays 07.00–08.30 and 15.00–17.00.
  3. Cargo bikes, adult tricycles and trailers stay outside.

Details

Bikes are also free on Midttrafik buses and on Midtjyske Jernbaner trains.

Tip

If the flex area is full, you have to wait for the next train, so avoid the busiest departures with a bike.

What may differ

The rush-hour limit applies only on part of L2 and the rules can change, so check letbanen.dk before you travel.

Common misconception

You need a bike ticket to take your bike on the Aarhus light rail.

What actually happens

The bike rides free; you only need a ticket for yourself.
