What Din Offentlige Transport does

Din Offentlige Transport (DOT) is the Danish public-sector coordination body for multi-operator public transport ticketing and customer service, founded as an Interessentskab (I/S) by DSB, Metroselskabet (Metro), Movia, and Hovedstadens Letbane and headquartered in Valby, Denmark. It runs the unified Rejsekort / Basiskort electronic ticketing system across 211 zones covering Sjælland, Lolland, Falster, and Møn, plus the national Rejseplanen journey planner and a centralized customer-service operation (chat, phone, in-person). DOT is not a transit operator; its function is to harmonize fares, retail channels, and traveler information across the partner operators that actually run the buses, trains, metro, and light rail.

The core technology stack is a zone-based fare engine powering the Rejsekort-app, the Rejsebillet-app, a webshop, and the Basiskort retail product, with Google Maps integration for journey planning. The platform supports anonymous Basiskort purchases at kiosks, registered digital Rejsekort balances, and a portfolio of specialized products: Pendler Kombi (commuter subscription), Erhvervskort and Travel Pass (B2B), Klippekort (multi-trip), Ungdomskort (youth), and senior, student, and tourist offerings. The 2026 phase-out of the physical Rejsekort, completed on June 29, 2026, migrated more than 3 million users onto the digital Rejsekort-app; the Basiskort serves as the anonymous replacement, including a new Pendler Kombi bundle launched in June 2026.

DOT's business model is a coordination-and-retail model rather than a fare-collection model: underlying fare revenue accrues to the four partner operators, while DOT monetizes through retail margins on app and webshop ticket sales, B2B commissions on Erhvervskort and Travel Pass, and fees charged to operators and municipalities for coordination, analytics (DOT Analyser), and customer-service infrastructure. The organization has dissolved its I/S legal form and continues as a collaboration among the same four partners.

Regional players

• DSB: Danish state railway operator and DOT's founding partner; provides train services and ticket sales within the DOT zone system, making it both a partner and an adjacent transport provider.
• Movia: Primary bus operator in the Greater Copenhagen and Zealand area and a DOT founding partner; comparable as a regional public transport provider integrated into the DOT unified ticketing system.
• STIB/MIVB (Brussels): Brussels public transport operator integrating metro, tram, and bus; comparable as a public-sector multi-modal operator but focused on a single city rather than a regional coordination model.

Direct peers

• Skånetrafiken: Swedish regional public transport authority operating unified ticketing across bus and train in Skåne; directly comparable in model, geography, and product set.
• Ruter: Norwegian public transport authority coordinating bus, tram, metro, and ferry in the Oslo region under a unified ticketing and zone-based fare system; structurally very similar to DOT.
• Rejseplanen: Danish national journey planner integrated into DOT's offering for route finding, fare calculation, and real-time departures; operated separately but tightly coupled with DOT ticketing.
• Rejsekort A/S: Operator of Denmark's check-in/check-out fare system (Rejsekort, Basiskort, and Rejsekort-app) that DOT depends on; technology and product counterpart for DOT's ticketing layer.
• VBB (Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg): German transit authority coordinating buses, trams, suburban rail, and regional trains across Berlin-Brandenburg under a single zonal tariff system; near-identical coordination model to DOT.

Broad incumbents

• Transport for London (TfL): London's integrated transport authority coordinating tube, bus, rail, and river services under a unified ticketing and fare-capping system; the closest global analogue to DOT's role as a multi-operator public transport coordination body.

Emerging players

• Citymapper: Multi-modal urban mobility app offering journey planning and integrated ticketing across many cities; comparable in app-based MaaS functionality and overlapping with DOT's digital channels in Copenhagen.
