One free travel card is given per household
The card can be used by everyone in the household, but only gives free travel to one adult at a time. However, this adult can bring two children under 12 for free.

What does it cost?

You get it at a special welcome-to-the-municipality price - it's for free.
There is no registration fee and your travels by public transport are also for free.

Where is the card valid?

The card is a special travel card that gives access public transportation for free.
This applies throughout Sydtrafik's area, which stretches from the German border in the south to Varde, Billund and Vejle Municipality in the north.
The card is valid for travel on all Sydtrafik buses, as well as Arriva trains in the municipalities of Tønder, Esbjerg and Varde.
It is valid for 2 months and the period starts shortly after you receive it by mail.
You use the card by checking in at the card reader with the blue spot on the bus or at the station.
