Is there a companion discount for disabled travellers on Danish buses?
Reduced fares for disabled travellers and companions
Short answer
Yes, a person with a disability can travel with a companion at a reduced price on Danish public transport in 2026. Both the card holder and the companion travel at the child fare, which is about half the adult price. On Midttrafik buses this applies to holders of a Dansk Blindesamfund card and to holders of a Ledsagerkort from Danske Handicaporganisationers Brugerservice. It covers single tickets, top-up tickets, day tickets and airport buses, but not period passes.
Why
- Travelling with a helper costs less.
- The card proves the right to the discount.
- The rule covers both buses and trains.
Details
In the Rejsekort app or with a Basiskort you check the companion in as a child.
Tip
Carry the companion card on every trip, because ticket inspectors may ask to see it.
What may differ
Which cards are accepted and which tickets give the discount can differ between operators.
Common misconception
Many people think the companion of a disabled traveller always rides free.
What actually happens
The companion pays too, but only the child fare, the same as the card holder.
