Revenue model

1. Passenger ticket revenue (Takstindtægter): Movia collects fare revenue from passengers across bus, local train and Flextrafik services. Pricing is set jointly with other Danish transit operators (DSB, Metroselskabet etc.) within the annual tariff ceiling set by Trafikstyrelsen. Tickets sold via cash on board, DOT webshop, DSB sales points, DSB app, Rejsebillet app, Rejsekort and various period/tourist passes.
2. Public subsidies from 45 municipalities and 2 regions: The budget gap between passenger revenue, operator payments and overhead costs (traffic ordering, planning, ticket control, marketing, traffic operations, customer service, HR, IT, finance) is covered by subsidies from the 45 municipalities and the two regions (Region Hovedstaden and Region Sjælland). Each bus line has a separate budget allocated to the responsible municipality/region, with annual budget settling.
3. Bus advertising revenue (via Out of Home Media): Bus operators can sell advertising space in or on buses. Out of Home Media currently administers advertising sales in and on Movia buses, governed by Movia's advertising rules (revised 1 September 2025).
4. Procurement/tender revenue from operator contracts: Movia tenders bus operation and Flextrafik to private operators via competitive procurement, with long-term contracts (e.g., 11-year contracts with Lokaltog A/S for train operations in both regions). Movia manages administration, tendering, settlement, contract follow-up and advisory.

Core offering

Movia (Trafikselskabet Movia) is Denmark's largest public mobility company. It plans, tenders, and operates scheduled bus services, electric harbour ferries, demand-responsive Flextrafik schemes (covering disability, patient, municipal, school, and open-demand transport), and nine local rail lines on Zealand, Lolland, Falster, and Møn on behalf of 45 municipalities and two regions. Revenue is generated through passenger fares, public subsidies from owners, bus advertising, and advisory/procurement services to municipalities and regions.

Product overview

Movia (Trafikselskabet Movia) is Denmark's largest public mobility company, owned by the 45 municipalities and two regions on Sjælland, Lolland, Falster and Møn. Rather than a single software product, Movia offers an integrated platform-plus-modules portfolio of public transport services built around three pillars: scheduled bus services (the A-bus, C-bus / +Way, E-bus, R-bus, S-bus, N-bus, Gul bus, Kommunebus and Havnebus concepts), flexible demand-responsive transport (Flextrafik, encompassing Flexhandicap, Flexpatient, Flexkommune, Flexrute, Flextur and Plustur), and administered local rail (Lokalbaner operated by Lokaltog A/S). On top of these, Movia is piloting future-mobility initiatives such as BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), driverless bus trials (Førerløs bus) and the Rejsekort-app og Basiskort digital channel, and provides advisory services (Rådgivning), tendering/contracting (Dynamisk Indkøbssystem D1 and the K-series of municipal bus tenders), and supplier compliance controls (Movias kontrolpanel). All of these offerings are tied together under the Movia 2023-2025 strategy and the Mobilitetsplan 2024 mobility plan, and ticketing is unified with other Danish operators through Rejsekort, Rejseplanen, the DOT Webshop, the DSB App and the Rejsebillet App.
