When are large dogs not allowed on Movia buses?

Rush-hour rules for big dogs on buses

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

On Movia buses, large dogs are not allowed on weekdays between 07:00 and 09:00 and between 15:30 and 17:30. The ban applies in zones 1–4, 30–33 and 40–44. Outside these hours a large dog may ride on a lead with a ticket at the child fare. Small dogs in a bag, cage or transport box can travel at any time for free. In North Jutland, Nordjyllands Trafikselskab has a similar rush-hour ban on its city buses, on weekdays 07:00–08:30 and 14:30–17:00, unless the dog sits in a closed dog carriage.

Why

  1. Buses are full of commuters at rush hour.
  2. The ban covers only certain Movia zones.
  3. Small dogs in a bag are not affected.

Details

The ban applies only on weekdays, so at weekends a large dog on a lead may ride Movia buses all day.

Tip

Plan dog trips with a large dog for late morning, early afternoon or the evening to stay clear of the ban.

What may differ

Zones and hours can change when the travel rules are updated, so check the current rules before a trip.

Common misconception

Many dog owners think the rush-hour ban also covers S-trains and the metro.

What actually happens

The rush-hour ban for large dogs applies to Movia buses; trains and the metro have their own rules.
