How do Danes get around?
Many Danes have a car, but cars are very expensive because of taxes, insurance and fuel. The public transportation system works quite well. The trains do not always arrive on time and the buses can be very crowded during peak hours, but you can get almost anywhere, and many Danes use it.
Danes ride their bicycles a lot, especially in large cities. Bicycles are considered a good and quick way to get around if you don't have to go too far. People from all walks of life can be seen on bikes, also in rain and snow. Denmark is known as a cycling country and some bicycles will hold both your children and the goods you have been shopping for.
In recent years, electric bikes have become very popular.

If you want to be sure you get a taxi, then call one. In rural areas it is imperative to call for one. In the cities it is often possible to catch a taxi in the street or elsewhere. All taxis run by meter. When you call for a taxi, they ask for your name and ask where you are going. They also tell you how long you need to wait. Most companies send you a text message 5 minutes before they arrive. You can also book a taxi via an app.
