When can you take a bike on the Copenhagen Metro?

Rush hour ban on weekdays only.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

You can bring a bike or a larger scooter on the Copenhagen Metro, but not on weekdays between 7.00 and 9.00 and between 15.30 and 17.30. Outside these hours and all day on Saturdays and Sundays the bike is welcome, as long as it has a bike ticket. If a time limit starts during your trip, you may not finish the journey with the bike, even if you boarded before. When a Metro line is replaced by a Metrobus, you cannot take the bike with you.

Why

  1. The ban covers weekdays 7.00–9.00 and 15.30–17.30.
  2. Weekends have no time limit for bikes.
  3. A bike ticket is always needed.

Details

In the trains, bikes stand in the flex areas with folding seats, which they share with prams, wheelchairs and large luggage.

Tip

If you ride home after work, plan to board after 17.30 or switch to the S-train, where bikes go free at all hours.

What may differ

Rail replacement and planned works can change the rules for a day, so check the line status before you go.

Common misconception

If you get on just before 7.00, you may stay on with your bike until you get off.

What actually happens

If the ban starts during your trip, you may not finish the journey with the bike.
