Do you need a ticket for your bike on the Copenhagen Metro?

Yes, on every Metro trip.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes: on every trip with the Copenhagen Metro your bike or larger scooter must have a bike ticket. You can buy it in the Metro ticket machines, in the Rejsebillet app, in the DOT Billetter app or by SMS on 1415. With a Rejsekort you check the bike in at the extra card reader at the station. A bike ticket on the Metro does not lift the weekday rush hour ban from 7.00 to 9.00 and 15.30 to 17.30.

Why

  1. The Metro has no free bike travel.
  2. Rejsekort users check the bike in separately.
  3. The ticket does not lift the rush hour ban.

Details

With Rejsekort, bike trips that start outside rush hour get the same 20 % time discount as people, on weekdays 11.00–13.00 and 18.00–7.00 and all day at weekends and on public holidays.

Tip

Check the price of the bike ticket in the app before you buy, and travel outside rush hour to pay less with Rejsekort.

What may differ

Fares and ticket apps change from time to time, so check the current options at the station.

Common misconception

If bikes go free on the S-train, they also go free on the Metro.

What actually happens

The S-train is free for bikes, but on the Metro every bike needs a bike ticket.
