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

The tickets are valid within the selected start and end travel times shown on the ticket.

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.

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.

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

Tickets will be issued to the user making the purchase and can only be displayed/used on the device on which it was purchased. Tickets must be used by the individual or group (in the case of group tickets) that made the purchase and must not be shared with others.

Transit tickets can only be used on one device at a time. You can change device once a day.

The sum will be returned automatically, but this can take up to 7 days for purchases made using MobilePay and 30 days for purchases made using a card. Payments can be interrupted due to network failures, errors with payment systems or your clicking on Back to mobile ticket before the green tick is displayed when paying with MobilePay. You will always receive a receipt via e-mail if the purchase has been successful. If you have not received an e-mail, the purchase was not completed.

You can normally solve this problem by restarting the app. Alternatively, you can enter the stop manually.

2. Create a user account for your child. Purchase a multi trip ticket using your child’s user profile. Thereafter, your child can log into the app and use the multi trip ticket, but they cannot make purchases unless they know your MobilePay password or the CVC number on your card. You can log into your child’s profile from your own device to purchase multi trip tickets.
