Rejsekort

What Rejsekort does

Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S (operating as Rejsekort) operates the unified electronic ticketing and travel-planning infrastructure for public transport in Denmark, excluding Bornholm and some smaller islands. The company is jointly owned by the eight principal Danish public transport operators — DSB (Danish State Railways), Trafikselskabet Movia, Metroselskabet (Copenhagen Metro), Nordjyllands Trafikselskab, Midttrafik, Sydtrafik, FynBus, and BAT — and functions as their shared services platform rather than a commercial vendor. Its core product stack comprises the Rejsekort mobile app (iOS/Android) for digital check-in/check-out travel with pay-as-you-go billing; the Rejsebillet mobile app for advance purchase of single tickets and commuter cards via an account-based model; the Basiskort physical card (personal and anonymous) as the non-app check-in/check-out medium; and Pendler/Pendler Kombi commuter products layered on top. Underlying the consumer products is Rejseplanen, the countrywide journey-planning service ingesting schedules and real-time data from operators and Banedanmark, which doubles as the API foundation for all public transport search functions in Denmark.

The legacy physical Rejsekort card is being fully phased out, with the last nationwide check-in scheduled for June 29, 2026; users are migrating to the Rejsekort app or the Basiskort. The platform serves over 2.5 million registered users, processes approximately 10 million journeys per month (monthly turnover around 250 million DKK), and powers around 450 million annual Rejseplanen searches with peaks above 1.2 million searches per day. Pricing is structured around subscription-style Basiskort (personal/anonymous), usage-based single tickets via Rejsebillet, commuter products (Pendler, Pendler Kombi), and specialized youth (Ungdomskort), school (Skolekort), and senior (Pensionistrabat, 30% since May 2024) tiers, with a dedicated business offering (Basiskort Erhverv) accessed through the mit.rejsekort.dk self-service portal. The commercial motion is product-led growth through app stores and physical retail (kiosks, DSB 7-Eleven), with revenue accruing from transaction fees on cleared journeys and from operator-owner service charges.

The core offering unifies check-in/check-out and account-based ticketing across bus, train, light rail, and metro through the Rejsekort mobile app, the Rejsebillet app for advance single tickets and commuter passes, and the physical Basiskort card, complemented by the Rejseplanen nationwide journey planner with real-time data.

Direct peers

• INIT AG: Germany-headquartered supplier of integrated public transit IT and ticketing systems (MOBILEvario, EVENDpc) covering bus, tram, and rail. Closely comparable to Rejsekort on the product side (account-based ticketing, back-office, mobile apps for operators) although operating across multiple European transit agencies rather than as a single national platform.
• Masabi: UK-based provider of mobile ticketing and account-based fare collection (Justride) for transit operators globally. Very close product overlap with Rejsekort's mobile/account-based offering, but operating as a SaaS vendor to multiple agencies rather than a single national platform.
• Scheidt & Bachmann: German family-owned supplier of fare collection systems, validators, and back-office for public transport operators across Europe and worldwide. Comparable fare-collection hardware and software stack to Rejsekort, particularly the check-in/check-out ticket flow.
• Moovit: Israel-based (now Intel-owned) mobility-as-a-service company providing multimodal journey planning integrated with transit agency data. Directly comparable to Rejseplanen's journey-planning function but operating across many cities and integrating ticketing via partners rather than running a national proprietary payment rail.

Broad incumbents

• Cubic Transportation Systems: Global incumbent for transit fare collection (NextWave, Tri-Reader, mobile apps) deployed with major agencies such as London Oyster pre-Apple Pay and multiple US agencies. Directly comparable fare-collection product suite to Rejsekort at much larger scale and broader geography.
• Conduent Transportation: Large US-based provider of transit fare-collection, mobility, and public-sector solutions to transit agencies. Comparable on fare-collection product but serves many fragmented US agencies rather than Denmark-style national platform.
• Thales Ground Transportation Systems: Global supplier of transportation and fare-collection systems (including legacy fare gates and account-based platforms) for major metro and rail networks. Comparable on fare-collection but as part of a much larger defense and transport portfolio.

Emerging players

• Citymapper: UK-based urban mobility app combining journey planning across transit, bike, and walk modes in major cities. Comparable to Rejseplanen on the journey-planning experience but focused on a few large cities without a fully integrated national fare-collection layer.
• Optibus: Israel-based AI platform for public transit operations, scheduling, and crew rostering used by global transit operators. Adjacent rather than directly competitive with Rejsekort's consumer-facing fare rail, but comparable in serving the same operator buyer and increasingly relevant as account-based ticketing data feeds operations AI.

Regional players

• Moovel (now REACH NOW): German MaaS aggregator (BMW/Daimler heritage) bundling multimodal mobility into one app across German-speaking markets. Comparable MaaS ambition but without the same national back-end fare-collection ownership Rejsekort enjoys in Denmark.
