How can I see real-time departures for buses, metro and trains in Copenhagen?
Live departures on your phone.
Short answer
The DSB app shows up-to-date departures for more than DSB trains. Open the Afgange menu, search for a station or stop and choose the transport type at the top of the screen. As of November 2026 you can choose buses, metro, long-distance and regional trains, S-trains and light rail. At the stations themselves, departure screens show the same live times.
Why
- One app for buses, metro and trains.
- Search for any station or stop.
- Light rail is included too.
Details
DSB posts urgent changes and planned track work under Trafikinformation on dsb.dk.
Tip
Check the Afgange view just before you leave, not when you plan the trip the night before.
What may differ
Menus and features in the app can change with updates.
Common misconception
Many think the DSB app only shows DSB trains.
What actually happens
The departures view also covers buses, metro and light rail.
