Can you take a bike on buses and the light rail in Aarhus?

Light rail yes, city bus no.

Short answer

In the Midttrafik area you can bring a bike on city buses if there is room, but not in Aarhus and Grenaa. On the Aarhus light rail bikes are allowed, except on line L2 between Skolebakken and Universitetshospitalet on weekdays from 7.00 to 8.30 and 15.00 to 17.00. A bike needs a bike ticket, bought in the Midttrafik app, from the driver or on the light rail platform, or checked in with Rejsekort. A folding bike goes free on the light rail if it is folded and at most 115 x 60 x 30 cm.

Why

  1. City buses in Aarhus do not take bikes.
  2. The light rail takes bikes with a ticket.
  3. Folding bikes are free on the light rail.

Details

Bike tickets from Midttrafik are not valid on DSB and Arriva trains, and if you change to a new ticket, the bike ticket must be renewed too.

Tip

Klippekort cannot be used for a bike, so buy the bike ticket in the app before you board.

What may differ

Bus lines and the rules for single routes can change with new timetables.

Common misconception

A DSB bike ticket also covers the light rail in Aarhus.

What actually happens

DSB and Arriva bike tickets are not valid on Midttrafik buses or the light rail.
