rejsekort

The app is easy to set up and use. It accepts Apple Pay. It’s nice that you get a discount during non peak hours. It’s infinitely better than the Rejsebillet app which is a total piece of garbage. Unfortunately it doesn’t charge fairly. For example, if you were to buy a 4-zone ticket, it would be cheaper than two 2-zone tickets. So in this example, if you’re traveling between 2 zone and your total trip is over 1.25 hours but less than 1.75 hours it would be cheaper to buy a 4-zone ticket. Another example is that if you check out after your first route, but then check back in on your return journey before the 1.25 hours limit, it doesn’t necessarily honor the fact that a single ticket would have covered that route. It clearly lists the history and timing of all your stops on the route so in theory it could be programmed to give you the best deal you would have gotten based on your actual travel history. Instead you have to predict what will be the best value which means not necessarily checking out when you’re done with the first leg of your trip. And as far as I can tell you can’t just buy a 4-zone priced single ticket (which would cover two 2-zone trips at a cheaper rate if you’re trip is in the 1.25 to 1.75 hour range) so it feels like you’re getting extorted a little bit. Denmark has a complicated system with the number of zones and ticket length time and cost being quite variable. But it seems like the app errs on the side of not caring too much if the customer overpays. That being said it does alert you if it thinks you forgot to check out so it is doing some things respectfully and honorably. If you accidentally check in but don’t go anywhere it will also not charge you arbitrarily. I hope they can fix this in the future and make it more fair. But at least it actually works and is easy to use otherwise. It just needs to be better to deserve a higher rating.

As a tourist in Copenhagen, this app has made getting around so easy

An amazing transport system.
