From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Transport in Aarhus involves road, rail, bus, water and air. Aarhus is a major city of the Denmark and a centre of employment, government, retail, business, culture, media and higher education and this has influenced the development of its transport network.


Welsh Government statistics for 2008/09 showed that Cardiff had the lowest percentage of the population who travelled to work by car, van or minibus, suggesting the highest public transport usage to work out of all 22 local authorities in Wales.[1] Between 2008 and 2009, car and taxi usage dropped from 59.7% to 52.3%, while walking was up by 1.4% to 18.3%. For bus usage, the figure had risen by 3% to 15.5% and cycling use increased from 1.6% to 7.4%. Train usage also rose from 3.8% to 4.7% over the same period.[2]

Aarhus Airport, with only a few scheduled flights each day, is located 40 km (25 mi) north-east of Aarhus in Tirstrup and the larger Billund Airport is situated 95 km (59 mi) to the south-west.[1][2]

Aarhus Central Station

The Aarhus Central Station lies in the city centre from which DSB maintains connections to the national rail system and two local railways provide commuter services to Grenaa and Odder.[3] The Aarhus Letbane is a planned tram-train project which will link two railway lines with a new light rail route through the city.[4] Most city bus lines go through the inner city and pass through either Park Alle or Banegårdspladsen (lit. English: "Central Station Square") or both.[5] County and Inter-city buses terminate at Aarhus Bus Terminal which is located 900 meters north-west of Banegårdspladsen, and in front of the Radisson SAS Scandinavia hotel at Margrethepladsen.[6] The long-distance busses of linie888 connect Aarhus to other cities in Jutland and Zealand.[7]

HSC KatExpress 2 in Aarhus harbor

The Danish ferry company Mols-Linien connects Aarhus with Copenhagen, on the island of Zealand, with rapid ferry connections to Sjællands Odde.[8] Ferries operating between Aarhus and Sjællands Odden include HSC KatExpress 1 and HSC KatExpress 2, the world's largest diesel powered catamarans,[9] and HSC Max Mols all of which cater to foot passengers, private vehicles and trucks.

Aarhus operates the free bike sharing system Aarhus City Bikes (Aarhus Bycykler) with bicycles available between 1 April to 30 October at 57 stands throughout the city with a DKK 20kr. deposit. Bicycles can also be hired from many shops.[10]
