Can you take a bike on the S-train in Copenhagen for free?

Free at all hours.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes: on the S-train it is always free to bring your bike, with no rush hour ban and no bike ticket. Bikes stand in the flex areas of the train. If there is no room in one flex area, try another one or wait for the next train. Cargo bikes, tandem bikes, fatbikes, long johns and other large bikes are not allowed. Bikes also go free on the Øresund trains between Østerport and Kastrup.

Why

  1. No bike ticket is needed.
  2. There is no rush hour ban.
  3. Large bikes and cargo bikes are not allowed.

Details

A place for the bike is not guaranteed, because flex areas are shared with prams and wheelchairs.

Tip

In rush hour, take the S-train rather than the Metro with your bike, since the S-train has no bike ban.

What may differ

Rail replacement buses do not take bikes, so works on a line can stop your plan.

Common misconception

Bikes are banned on the S-train in rush hour, just like on the Metro.

What actually happens

The S-train has no rush hour ban: bikes go free at all hours.
