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 Aarhus through any door and buy your ticket at the ticket machine. Unless you have a bus pass or a multiride ticket ("klippekort"), you have to buy a ticket immediately, when you enter the bus.
If you don´t have a ticket, you risk getting a penalty fare (750 kroner).
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)
- 28 kr. (3 zones)
- 37 kr. (4 zones)
But we recommend that you buy a "klippekort" - a multiride ticket valid for 10 busrides. Much money to save there ...
For example a 10-ride "klippekort" valid for two zones costs 140 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.
Bus pass - If you´re a student, who ride by bus many times a week
We recommend that you buy a bus pass - a socalled "Periodekort", which is - for example - valid for one month.
During that period you can ride as many times as you want within the zones, that you pay for.
