Citat fra: 1993matias Dato 24/08-26, 12:52You can get Sjælland in a day

Including all the Lokalbanen lines?

Edit: hmm yeah okay maybe in under 24 hours if you plan it well

My visa is sorted today and I will depart probably on the 1st-2nd day of September. However,

Citat fra: Trainee Dato 24/08-26, 12:25Look into whether you can get Ungdomskort.

This is impossible for me as a non-EU resident cannot receive "public funds" (or whatever that terminology is), which includes this pass.

As I can see, a monthly commuter ticket including Central Copenhagen, Fredericksburg, and 2300 (that island where Airport and a lot of student housings are located on), with metro is 934.90 kr. It is more expensive than Nottingham, but definitely cheaper than London...

That's a shame.

I recommend Commuter Combi instead of Commuter Card, as you then pay the metro add-on per journey instead of up-front, with a capping, so you either pay less or the same as a Commuter Card with metro. Also it's easy to travel outside your validity area, as you just continue on the same check-in.

You can get Commuter Combi via the Rejsekort app or the physical Basiskort.

I will depart for Copenhagen in a few hours but this includes an overnight transfer at Shanghai Pudong. I will arrive at CPH at 7pm 30th of August and my first lecture is just 13 hours later than that. My student accommodation is still not ready; I have to stay at cabinn! 

I have gotten a grasp about how to deal with public transport, travel domestically and, cross the Oresund to Southern Sweden. However, there seems to be a little fee when using DSB International to book tickets to Germany. It turns out to be cheapest to book every train through its operators website. But how to figure out an operator immediately? Like that new service to Prague?

And GoCollective will be merged to DSB - what it will affect?

Well, you found and chose an airline or two to fly you from Asia to Copenhagen among a few hundred airlines, you'll soon learn a handful of train operators out of Copenhagen.

But do study the cph public trannsport zone map with its 99 zones before buying your monthly fare, you may not need zone 4/airport for your daily transport.   

For international the vast majority of schedules can be found at the german www.bahn.de, or for good ideas check the_man_in_seat_61 og rome-to-rio. Please do not join the crowd that claims railway travel is terribly confusing.

Sorry to derail this conversation, but I ran the numbers, and it seems like reaching all stations in Sjælland using only public transit and your own legs can't be done in under 24 hours, not even theoretically. I'd be happy to be proven wrong!

I would love to see the schedule here. I guess there's a problem where a fair number of stations have an uneven number of track connections, so that you'll need a number of bus connections 🤔

Next question would be what's possible if you drive between stations where you've exhausted the connection options.

thanks for all the help, I arrived in Copenhagen in the evening before my first lecture. I bought a 30-day commuter combi of Zones 1-4 loaded on Rejsekort app. Everything has been fine, thank you!

I was never intending to say that but if I recall correctly, there might be an extra fee when using one train operator's website to book tickets of another train operator. A youth ticket for the night train to Hamburg (and Berlin, Dresden) departing on Friday 11th of September is 679 SEK (~456 DKK) when booked directly through Snalltaget, but 519 DKK when booked through DSB International. Also, ticket availability seems to be not homogeneous (or whatever word that is), but I am not sure.
