Hi all,

What do you think about the means of transportation in Copenhagen ?

Is the network of means of transportation well developed?
What modes of transport are available?

Do you use them?

How much is a fare?

Are they relatively safe?

What is the mean of transportation you use the most in Copenhagen?

Thanks in advance for participating!

hey, armand.

i think the transport here is pretty well-designed and reliable but expensive. i'm happy that the city is working on installing a new addition to the metro in the inner city, which was my only gripe with the system. it's relatively safe unless it's crowded; then you should be watching your bags and pockets carefully (as i found out the hard way).

mostly i use a bike. it's the cheapest and sometimes the fastest way to get around town. i live in nørrebro and work in frederiksberg. when i twisted my ankle a few months ago, i rode the bus and metro to work for a couple days instead of cycling. it took nearly twice the amount time to arrive at work than it would on bike!
