How are the Danes around?
Many Danes have cars, but cars are very
expensive due to taxes, taxes, insurance and fuel. Public transport works quite
well. The trains do not always come on time and the buses may be very crowded
during the rush hour, but you can come almost everywhere, and many Danes use
it.
Danes cycle a lot, even in larger cities.
