Dear tourist/visitor
Welcome to the region of Midtjylland in Denmark.
Here are a few facts about our public transportation.
Midttrafik wishes you a pleasant stay.

In general ...
The organisation Midttrafik coordinates all the buses, plus Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S (two local railways):
» Odderbanen, connecting Aarhus and Odder, and
» Lemvigbanen, connecting Holstebro-Lemvig-Thyborøn in west Jutland.
Other trains are operated by » DSB - The Danish Railways and » Arriva
Here are a few guidelines for you to travel by bus in Midtjylland:
___________________________________________________
Buses in Aarhus and other city buses
Enter the yellow city buses ("bybus" in Danish) in Aarhus through the rear or middle door and buy your ticket at the ticket machine.
In the Aarhus area there are four zones:
» City map (pdf)
» Timetables Aarhus
(Mandag-fredag = Monday to Friday. Lørdag = Saturday, Søn- og helligdage = Sundays and holidays).
The fares for busrides (adult 16 years and older) in Aarhus are:
- 20 kr. (1-2 zones)
- 27 kr. (3 zones)
- 34 kr. (4 zones)
But we recommend that you buy a "klippekort" - a card valid for 10 busrides. Much money to save there ... For example a 10-ride "klippekort" valid for two zones costs 130 kr.
Another option is to buy the » AarhusCard, valid for 24 or 48 hours. With this you can travel as you please within zone 1 and 2 on city buses and regional buses. Furthermore you get discounts on the entrance for museums/attractions and for cafés, restaurants and much more.
Buy your Aarhus Card here:
