The physical Rejsekort is being phased out
The physical Rejsekort will be closed down gradually.
It is no longer possible to travel using a physical Rejsekort in buses, local trains, or light rail services in Jutland and on Funen.
On 29 June 2026, it will be the last travel day in Zealand and for trains operated by DSB and GoCollective across the country.
The additional month is intended to ensure a smooth transition to the new solutions, as many passengers in Zealand still travel using the physical Rejsekort, and some ticket types for the Basic Card will only become available later.
If you no longer travel using the physical Rejsekort, you do not need to do anything.
Important dates
Here are the key dates for the gradual phase-out:

29 June 2026 is also the last day you can:
- Top up your physical Rejsekort until 23:59. However, please note that card readers at stations and platforms are only updated approximately every five hours, and card readers on buses only about once every 24 hours. You must therefore use Self-Service top-up at least 5 hours in advance (for train/metro/light rail) or 24 hours in advance (for bus) before the amount can be used.
Please also be aware of when you last perform a manual top-up depending on your transport type if you are travelling on the final travel day.
- Purchase a new period or zone for an existing Commuter Card or Commuter Combi until 23:59. However, please note that card readers are only updated every five hours (train/metro/light rail) or once every 24 hours (bus). You must therefore renew via Self-Service at least 5 hours (train/metro/light rail) or 24 hours (bus) before the period is needed.
Please also be aware of when you last renew manually depending on transport type if you are travelling on the final travel day.
- You can request a replacement card for School Pass if you lose your card. You will receive a Basiskort as replacement.

How you can travel in the future
Your options for travelling by bus, train, metro, and light rail are:
• Rejsekort app: Check in and out in the app and pay continuously at the same price as the physical Rejsekort
• Basiskort (physical card): Check in and out at card readers at the same price as the physical Rejsekort. Choose between personal or anonymous Basiskort
• Rejsebillet app: Buy single tickets, commuter cards, and special tickets in the app. Youth Card can also be issued digitally
Your balance is automatically transferred to your NemKonto.
If you have money remaining when the physical Rejsekort closes, it will be automatically transferred to your NemKonto as quickly as possible. If you have an Anonymous Rejsekort, you must request a refund yourself.
