Transportation in Denmark

Bicycles are EVERYWHERE

Denmark is the second Scandinavian country I've visited during my travel to Europe. Well, I only visited the Zealand though (to be exact Copenhagen and Torkilstrup). To be compared to Stockholm I've visited earlier, Copenhagen is more crowded with bicycle. No wonder, 50 % of Danes living in Copenhagen are biking to work or school. And guess what, biking Danes are so skillful with their bikes that they are trying to compete with cars or buses. #becareful

With an integrated transportation infrastructures, Danes can easily change from one mode of transportation to others. Trains are available for 24 hours, connected to free wifi and providing bicycle carriage/car.

The only problem from that highly integrated transportation system (+super high taxation) is the EXPENSIVE public transportation fee. As Denmark has a zoning system in their public transportations, passengers must alert with their destination zones. For example, København H (Copenhagen Central Station) is in zone 1, thus if I want to go from København H to Hvalsø Station in zone 29, you don't have any choice except buying an all-zone ticket which costs DKK499 (~IDR1.010.000,-). But if you only want to travel around Copenhagen city in zone 1 or 2, you can buy 2-zone ticket which costs DKK150 (~IDR310.000,-). So basically, the farther you go, the 'growing' your zone will be and of course the more expensive your klippekort will be.
