Movia (transit Agency)
Trafikselskabet Movia is the public transport agency that is responsible for buses and certain local railways in Copenhagen and the part of Denmark east of the Great Belt, covering the regions Sjælland and Hovedstaden, except for Bornholm, which is a 100% owner of BAT, formerly, before 1 January 2003, transit agency Bornholms Amts Trafikselskab. It does not own any buses and trains itself, but pays subcontractors to run them. It is a part owner of train company Lokaltog. It has an integrated fare system in collaboration with the Copenhagen metro and DSB, which means that the same tickets are valid on all buses and trains. Movia was created on January 1, 2007 as part of the 2007 municipal reform. Its predecessors were the county transit agencies of the old Vestsjællands Amt and Storstrøms Amt, and ''HUR Trafik'' which covered the old "capital region" consisting of Roskilde Amt, Frederiksborg Amt, and Københavns Amt (plus the independent municipalities of Copenhagen and Freder ...

Transport In Copenhagen
Transport in Copenhagen and the surrounding area relies on a well established infrastructure making it a hub in Northern Europe thanks to its road and rail networks as well as its international airport. Thanks to its many cycle tracks, Copenhagen is considered to be one of the world's most bicycle-friendly cities. The metro and S-train systems are key features of the city's well-developed public transport facilities. Since July 2000, the Øresund Bridge has served as a road and rail link to Malmö in Sweden. The city is also served by ferry connections to Oslo in Norway while its award-winning harbour is an ever more popular port of call for cruise ships.

Copenhagen Harbour Buses
The Copenhagen Harbour Buses (Danish: Københavns Havnebusser) is a system of water buses along the harbourfront of Copenhagen, Denmark, operated by Movia which also operates the city’s regular buses. There are four vessels: Holmen, Bryggen, Nordhavn and Nyhavn. The Harbour Buses are integrated into the Copenhagen public transport system with the same payment system as buses, Metro or DSB trains. Routes and stops The Copenhagen Harbour Buses network has three routes, serving a total of 11 different stops along the harbourfront, seven on Zealand-side and four on Amager-side. The line network was rationalised in the 2010s, with the former lines 901, 902 and 904 merged into one line running the entire span of the harbour, using two different numbers depending on the direction. The Opera shuttle line was retained, but renamed from 903 to 993. 991 & 992 Route991and992serves the following busstops in opposite directions, 991 going south and 992 going north through the harbour.

CityCirkel
CityCirkel was a one-way circular bus route operated by electrical buses in Copenhagen, Denmark from June 12, 2009 to October 24, 2010. The line was designated route 11, run by Movia and was part of the public transport infrastructure in the greater Copenhagen. The buses are small, with around 7 seats and battery operated.

Night Service (public Transport)
Night service, sometimes also known as owl service, refers to the public transport services operated during the night hours. These services are operated, mainly using buses but in certain cases using trams (or streetcars), not including intercity bus service, inter-city rail or flight that run through midnight, either in addition to or in substitution for ordinary daytime services or rapid transit rail services which may shut for maintenance or due to lack of passenger volumes at night in many cities worldwide. Night-based services may be differently branded compared to daytime services. Examples are London and Chicago, where overnight buses are prefixed with an "N" for "night". Another common way to distinguish night services from their daytime counterparts is dark-colored line numbers. Some cities apply a different fare structure for night services from their daytime services. Characteristics 24-hour, continuous rapid transit operation is practiced in some cities, mos ...

Rejsekort
Rejsekort (Official translation: ''TRAVEL CARD'') is an electronic ticket system for public transport in Denmark. The system is a collaborative work between DSB, HUR, Ørestadsselskabet, and various regional bus companies, and work on it started on August 18, 2003. In June 2005, the Thales Group and Accenture were chosen as suppliers. The total cost of the system will be between €200 and €270 million. Overview The system has replaced the old zone ticket system. Instead, fares are calculated from the distance made from the beginning of the journey to the end, as the crow flies, so as to give a better correlation between price and distance travelled. Like the old system, the Rejsekort is designed to work universally for trains, buses, and metro trains. Either a superpersonal, a personal or an anonymous card is issued to passengers. The superpersonal card has a picture of the owner on it, and only the owner (or the owner and one or more travelling companions) is able to use it. ...
