Tickets must be purchased and received before boarding. If you board a bus, Letbanen or Midtjyske Jernbaner before receiving your ticket, you will be travelling without a valid ticket.

Single tickets, multi trip tickets and special tickets can only be used in Midttrafik buses, Letbanen and Midtjyske Jernbaner.

Transit tickets can be used in buses, Letbanen, Midtjyske Jernbaner and trains operated by Arriva and DSB within the zone validity.

There are two sets of rules with respect to the valid time period:

For journeys within Aarhus municipality:
The valid time period is 2 hours and 15 minutes (2 hours as for a normal ticket plus 15 minutes because tickets from Midttrafik app must be purchased before boarding.) You must have completed your journey before the end of the valid time period. For example, if your ticket expires at 10:00, you must get off by 10:00 at the latest.

Additional ticket: Please note that an additional ticket for travels within Aarhus municipality only expands the validity of zones and not time because the time validity is permanent.

For other journeys:
The valid time period depends on the number of zones:
2 zones: 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes)
3 zones: 90 minutes (1 hour and 30 minutes)
4 zones: 105 minutes (1 hour and 45 minutes)
5 zones: 120 minutes (2 hours)
6 zones: 130 minutes (2 hours and 10 minutes)

Thereafter, the valid time period increases by 10 minutes with each additional zone.

The last stage of your journey must begin within the valid time period. For example, if the valid time period ends at 10:00, you must have boarded by 10:00 at the latest. The ticket will show you the latest time you can board.

Midttrafik app will calculate the valid time period.

Additional ticket: Please note that an additional ticket to other travels expands the time validity according to the number of zones. See the table above. If you have used a charge on a two zones multi trip ticket and travel three zones, an additional ticket will provide you with a time validity of 1 hour and 30 minutes – even though the ticket is visible in two hours.

You cannot increase the valid time period by using more charges on your multi trip ticket.

It costs extra to travel by night bus, unless you have a ticket where the night bus is included in the price.
