I think the bus, and at times semi trucks, has first priotiry because of weight distribution and making it easier for the bigger vehicles to get parked and settled before the cars come on board. I had tried to take a bus drive where we had to cross the Langeland Belt by ferry. The bus (As a public transport bus at the time) was allowed onboard first, followed by semi trucks and then cars
I'm sure this also plays a factor! But you could probably load trucks and busses in a random order, where here they always go first from what I understand :-)
@@Simon-Andersen all the ferries I've taken on a bus in Finland and Norway have prioritized scheduled route buses. (My sample size is about 3 ferries, so not huge, but still.) I'm quite sure it's just common sense that the scheduled traffic that carries the most passengers per m2 goes first and gets off first. It has the most to win and most to lose. It's just like the bus lanes in cities.
Though on this Danish ferry it seems that only the boarding is prioritized, not the bus exiting. :) Probably it's here just to get the bus to its reserved position first. And possibly the exiting can't be prioritized in this ferry due to how the vehicles need to turn around on the ferry. But the exit traffic doesn't seem that bad.

Reminds me of my first time in Aarhus.....early 1980s . We were visiting my Wife's ( a Dane) cousin for a few days. They sent me out to the local bakery to buy some rolls. On the way back I was stopped by a man (holding a bible) who started taking to me all about Relgion, I said the very few words of Danish that I knew, saying jeg snak igge Danske (excuse the bad spelling! ). He then spoke to me in "perfect English" ......took me nearly 20 minutes to make my escape😂 Haven't been back to Denmark for over ten years....the wife can't be bothered to go back as most of her family are dead now.
Yeah. They used to be a real nuisance, God danm Jehovah Witness. But Haven't seen them for decades now. Think they stopped doing the whole knocking on doors thing.
@@commonsense31 Oh, they're still around. If you take the train to Aarhus and exist through the main building, they're just outside on the concourse before the pedestrian crossing. Two people (varies who) just standing there with their books and stuff. I've been to Aarhus some times every month for the past years and I can hardly remember not seing them.
I naively thought of Denmark as clean, tidy and well-maintained. The capital’s bus station and a bus with broken seats, a cracked front window and non-functional lavatory gives a different impression. Might as well stay in UK.
I was quite dissappeared with the overall state of the bus expirence, the railways are not much better, but at least the train stations have proper facilities
Denmark is generally clean, tidy and well-maintained, and more importantly for me, friendly. If you expect perfection, you will be disappointed, wherever you go, and you certainly will not find it in the UK.
I found the same last time in Denmark about ten years ago. My wife comes from Hygum ( Jelling Kommune). We regularly went into Vejle, the first few years I was impressed how lovely and clean everywhere was. On that last trip, the main shopping area felt slightly run down , graffiti all over the place, and small gangs of the undesirables that All of Europe have let in, same as what we have in the UK.
14:17 Usually the train costs way more than that. Around 400 DKK. From Aarhus to Copenhagen at around 8:45 AM on Wednesday next week (outside of the holiday and just after the more heavily booked early-morning departures), Kombardo costs 119 DKK while the train costs 364 DKK, plus another 30 for seat reservation (without that, you may have to move, or stand if all seats are booked). The train is just far more expensive.
I see tickets from Aarhus to Copenhagen with DSB on the 25th for 169 DKK on the 09:45 and 159 on the 10:15. With plenty of other trains being available throughout the day for less than 200 outside of the morning and evening peak. So no I don't really think the train is that much more expensive unless you absolutely must cherry pick to travel at peak times. The real argument would be when booking with very short notice, then it can be hard to find a cheap ticket on DSB.
@@Simon-Andersen I picked times just outside the morning peak and well in advance, and still the prices were very high. DSB is just a much more expensive option in most realistic scenarios.
@@Sakkura1 I just gave you examples for the scenario you originally posted, that shows if you catch the train, which is faster, just an hour later then the price is 169 dkk. If your idea of "realistic" scenarios is mostly travel between with depature between 7-9 and 15-18 without a tiny bit of flexibility then yes sure the bus is gonna "win" most of the time. I however often am able to have a little more flexibility and ussualy dont have trouble finding a cheap train around the time i want to travel. There is no doubt that the average bus ticket is cheaper, but my point was that the train often is competitive on price, especially if you're booking in advance and id check that first before resorting to the bus. :-)
@@Simon-Andersen Taking the train after 9 means arriving after lunch. Not a useful choice for the majority of weekday travel scenarios. I even picked a relatively late departure to make the comparison favor the train a bit (the main rush is earlier in the morning).
@@Sakkura1 "Taking the train after 9 means arriving after lunch. Not a useful choice for the majority of weekday travel scenarios. " I'm sorry, but that's just not true. All the bus commercial companies - Fleet, Kombardo, Flixbus - run plenty of departures throughout the day, but I guess they are just wasting money because the majority wants to arrive before lunch? There are plenty of people traveling between Aarhus and Copenhagen at all hours of the day for various reasons with varying degrees of flexibility. Of DSB's 37 connections between Aarhus and Copenhagen on the 25th of October, as of posting, 20 have tickets for less than 200kr. So it's my impression that the train usually does not cost 400kr but rather, it costs 400kr if you want to travel at peak times and book at short notice.
Hm. The Bus Company you showed looks alike the Company in Germany that offers the same Service. Flixbus. A ride from as example Düsseldorf to Nürnberg costs like 19 to 23 Euros. Also using either Double Deck for routes that are needing higher capacity or normal Busses. But... having a Ship Route is unique. And having it as a Terminal is even more unique. Nicely done by the Ferry Company.
9:05 I am sure there's very good reasons (geography and population?) for neither landmass having any buslines leading towards the south, but it does feel like a majorly missed opportunity when seeing the map without such further context.
If you go further south it's probably more efficient to take the route over the island Fyn crossing the water using the bridges. There are bus routes you can take further south, but then you will have to change in Aarhus
@@Simon-Andersen Yeah I looked this up and was amused to see one of the bridges is at a place called Middelfart (from my limited knowledge of Germanic languages I would guess this means middle way but it's funny to English ears.) As someone living near London, the thing that impressed me most was TWO staircases in the same bus.
I took a bus from the same terminal south into another ferry to get to Berlin - different operator though. With 6 hoursthe trip was longer than I prefer my bus trips but it was evenly split inti three segmebts: before the ferry, on the ferry and after the ferry. The bus segment is where short enough to be comfortable and the bus was the easiest way to transport our bikes back (the other way we went by bike).
I'm surprised the motor coaches are so shabby and broken. I love the bus ferry. That ferry is super fast and looks like it keeps every city easy to travel as a destination
The busses I've been with were far better than this one so I guess he was unlucky One thing he forgot to mention is that there is free the and coffee on the bus
Mine did not have coffee or the i think. Probably because it was using a bus from another company and not their normal ones. I have no idea how common that is unfortunatly.
I have taken the "Kombardo Expressen" a few times when I had to go from Aarhus to Copenhagen and back multiply times. The journey last about 3 hours and 30 min. and is very reliable. Taken the train by DSB very by which train you take. Is it with many stops, then it will take some more time, is it with few stops then less time it takes. The difference is 3 hours and 10 min. for the slow and 2 hours and 48 min. for the fast. The trains have the downside of been apple to be cancelled if something happens. However, is this happens to your train you can take another train with the same ticket as long it is in the same timeframe. I think the biggest different between Kombardo and the train is the cost. Personally, I can take the longer journey no problem. The cost very from both sites. In Kombardo for 1 adult with no more than one back (as more will cost you) and no kids, the cost goes from the highest of 219 kr. All the way down to 99 kr. This difference is when you take it, early in the morning or not. On the other hand, DSB cost for the same, 1 adult with no more than one back and no kids 429 kr. For a standard ticket with no seating. A seating spot is little more costly. However here you can buy an orange ticket with can takes the price all the way down to 139 kr. The problem is that you have to buy that ticket around two weeks before you have to go, or it will be out of stock for that ride. Make do with this information as you wish.
You can bring 2 kids under 12 years of age on the regular flexible ticket (429), but going across the country with kids you WILL want to pay the 30kr per seat. If I'm travelling alone it's not that important. What I usually do is to buy 4 seats for me and my 2 kids, and then give away the seat to the first person to ask nicely after we're settled.
I took it from Aalborg to Copenhagen and back in 2021 - for 99 kr. Actually think it was a pretty decent option considering the price of train or non-DAT flights; even though my way back I got the COVID - on the second day of the end of the mask mandate on buses 😂 Thanks for the video, it brought up some good memories from my time there
Thank you, this was unique. I plan on doing the Aarhus to Copenhagen route by bus/ferry, but also plan on doing the Copenhagen to Aarhus by train. This way I get two different adventures between the cities? What do you think?
Sounds good! The train route is also great because you get to expirience the Storebælts crossing (bridge / tunnel) Make sure to book the train in advance for a good price!
@@Simon-Andersenthank you, I did both the bus/ferry to Aarhus and took the train back to Copenhagen. Both fun trips. Couldn’t have done it without all your cool tips and video. Thank you so much.
Great trip. It's unique and great having Ferry service and Long Distance Bus service in same company. I'm curious, if this bus taking route using Belt Bridge, how long this trip can be taken?
10:10 the " hold afstand" sign is funny to me. I am Dutch and we have the word "afstand" too. But not " hold" which would be English for us. So it is a mixed language sign in our eyes. Interesting it isn't in Danish. BTW, I dont feel 2 week bookin n adance om such a journey is on relatively short booking notice. I feel that is a very long notice in advance.
The sign *IS* in Danish. It means "keep distance". "Hold" is the imperative form of "at holde" (to hold) and comes from the Old Norse word "halda". The equivalent in Dutch would probably be "houden".
I guess we have different perspectives on time, I usually have planned my trips across the country far in advance. But I mostly travel for leisure, I guess it be different if for family reasons or something :-)
Where else are they going to put the cycle lane? On the other side of the footpath? That wouldn't work. Bikes have to stop when a bus is stopped with it's doors open, btw.
@@epender you put the bike path behind the bus platform, like is completely and utterly standard in at least the netherlands and sweden. This is not some difficult problem to solve.
There was never meant to be a bus stop here, never mind a "terminal", but the city's complete lack of proper long distance terminal eventually meant that all the operators gathered here causing this mess. Will be solved next year with the opening of the proper terminal finally!
@@swedneck That would be the standard way to design it in Copenhagen as well for ordinary bus stops. There is no room on this particular street, unless you removed the lane of street parking on the other side. If this was not a temporary situation, that would most certainly happen. This 'terminal' is an utter disgrace.
@@Duffstorama These long distance busses are fairly infrequent, and the bicycle lane didn't have a lot of traffic, so I don't think that it was a big problem. The city just build a new bus terminal, so the problem should be solved now.
I’m guessing that this crossing is entirely within Denmark, so there is no need for passport, luggage and security checks? - across the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin, Irish Ferries operate the similar Dublin Swift fast ferry, which I personally dislike despite the faster crossing time, as the crossing is too rough, even in the Club Class Lounge and is more likely to get cancelled if there is rough weather on the Irish Sea - a few years ago, Stena used to have a similar ferry from Holyhead to Dun Laoire
Kombardo has a route between Copenhagen and Rønne on Bornholm that goes through Sweden to use the ferry between Ystad and Rønne, and that requires passport. At least what I experienced some 5 years ago (albeit by car), but also from what I read online it's still a requirement in 2023. And It's so silly if you ask me, but Sweden is paranoid of weapons getting smuggled into their country via Denmark.
Great video! But as a non danish native I have never seen the train tickets at a comparable price to Kombardo (100 kr vs 400 kr). Where/how do you find the 100kr train tickets you mention in the video?? What life hack am I missing ??
You have to book online on DSBs website or app and buy in advance. The cheapest tickets are on the less busy trains and there are limited of them so the earlier you can book and the more flexible on depature time you are the higher chance of getting one :-) Just as an example the 10th September at 11:04 from Copenhagen to Aarhus is currently selling at 119kr
What I observed wrong , was at the beginning of this informative video , With the bicycle lane . Although the bus stops on the road , passengers have to stand on the bicycle lane , to be able to put their luggage in the storage box , "compartment " Before boarding the bus . So what if , bike's happens to come along at that time blocking a bike lane , is like blocking the road " it's illegal . And if a bike happens to ride into you , then it's the bus companies fault or the local council , or am I wrong here 🤔🇬🇧 .
4:22 I know Roskilde as Roastkilled 8:18 Meanwhile in the Philippines, ship companies don't give a shit to bus companies. Hence a very late bus journey.
Its more in the functionality aspect of having the busses timed in a way that passengers make the bus transfer to other bus service onboard the ferry, like a bus terminal. Its just a bit hard to make the long explanation work in a title ;-)
A very helpful review thanks. However the lack of a working toilet with no facilities until the ferry would render this route unusable for me. The bus should have been taken out of service.
Shame you didn't go into what "Kombardo" means 🙂 "Kombardo" is a portmanteau of "Kom", "Bare", "Du"; which is what the ferry stewarts say as you are slowly inching in your car, afraid to hit the other cars or the ferry itself. Can be translated to a brisk but friendly "Go on". The fact that 'e' is gone and 'u' becomes 'o' is because the ferry company wants to signal more coherence to Jutland than to Zealand. Jutland is generally regarded as cheaper in both good and bad.
I’m used to the overnight National Express/Eurolines coaches 880 (withdrawn - from Leeds/Bradford and Manchester/Liverpool) and 871 from London Victoria Coach Station via Birmingham and Holyhead (in Wales) to Dublin Busaras via Irish Ferries to Dublin Port (North Wall) operated in conjunction with Bus Éireann/Transport for Ireland - the crossing time from Holyhead to Dublin on the Irish Ferries Ulysses across the Irish Sea is 3 hours 15 mins, which leaves London at 6pm, Birmingham at 9pm, Holyhead at 1am and arrives in Dublin at 6am the next morning
Kind of clever idea but I wonder wouldn't it be more efficient just to have separate busses in each end and save space in the ferry for private paying vehicles.
The buses going on the ferries is easier for passengers with heavy luggage, but keeping the buses on the same side would save space, and allow the buses to run more frequently if they're not sat still on the ferry.
That crack on the windscreen means the whole piece of glass needs to be replaced. It will be very expensive to do that. Even on standard buses in the UK, a windscreen is £1000, and most are made and sent over from Finland.
why is the bus gate to the ferry on the far left, but then the lane for the ferry is on the far right. Why not make the bus gate on the same side as the bus lane so it doesn't need to cross all the other lanes?
There are loads of Ferry Lines across the Baltic, including four from Germany to Sweden (Travemünde, Rostock and Sassnitz, all to Trelleborg, plus Kiel-Göteborg). Others include Travemünde-Helsinki, Kiel-Klaipeda, Travemünde-Klaipeda, Travemünde-Liepaja and Puttgarden-Rødvy. And that's only the German ones, there are many Ferries between Finland and Sweden too, and Ferries to Finland and Sweden from Poland and the Baltic Countries. Plus a few ones between Denmark and Sweden, and small ones connecting the Danish Islands that are too small for Bridges and Tunnels to be economical.
@@travelvideos That would be Sassnitz-Trelleborg. There also is Hirtshals-Kristiansand in the Skagerrak, plus the one from Sweden to Bornholm. Most of the ones I mentioned before are way too long for Highspeed Ferries though.
@@Simon-Andersen That plus they just aren't comfortable. The Airplane-style Seating Arrangement is hard to justify for Voyages longer than 2-3 Hours, and most importantly Catamarans just ride uncomfortably. The low Metacentric Height of a Catamaran makes it "stiff" in the Waves, meaning to say it doesn't roll far but it does roll fast and abruptly. That's why Catamarans are much more likely to cause Seasickness than conventional Ships.

Hvis man går meget tæt på personer med sit kamera, fx helt hen til den topløse pige på stranden eller en privat person på Strøget, skal man efterkomme deres ønske om at fjerne sig.

I'm surprised that the bus check-in kiosk is on the left hand side of the row of kiosks and yet after passing the kiosk it has to head over to the right hand side to reach the bus channel crossing over all the car/vans coming from the other vehicle kiosks. Being a totally illogical Scot I'd have thought it would make more sense for the bus kiosk to be on the right hand side. ho hum.😉😂
Yeah well... central Copenhagen isn't exactly a great match with long haul tourist busses. The city busses have a much more orderly terminal at the opposite side of Kbh H station... but even that one doesn't come close to the bus terminals in jutland (Vejle, Viborg or Herning for instance), they're designed with a lot more flexibility in mind, and could easily handle way more traffic than they have. It would make more sense if the long haulers would just aim for the outer traffic hubs around Copenhagen, like Flintholm or the upcoming Ny Ellebjerg... but then the long haulers would need to enter agreements with the local bus/train/metro operators to be able to sell a ticket to midtown to their customers. That would probably push the price up. I believe that you were just unlucky about the lavatory not working at all, that said, I'd pretty much try to avoid the lavatory on whatever bus... they're never close to being nice... they're for emergencies only in my book. But I think it's worth to mention that if you want a train ticket at a competitive price you need to book well in advance, those tickets are only on departures that are in general not popular because of their timing, and they can be sold out. A flexible train ticket is usually 3-4 times that price... and you'd probably want to pay the 30dkk extra to have a guaranteed seat on a long haul.
Wow. We don't have buses here that go between cities. We have city buses that travel across cities to a neighboring city. But nothing that travels more than 10 to 20 miles in total. If I wanted to go 100 miles I would have to fly or find someone that I could pay to drive me. I don't own a car and the luxury of being able to get from one city to another for less than around 500 to 700 dollars would be great. The local and national buses went out of business and there is no replacement. I live in Canada on the west coast. I can't afford a car and I can't afford to fly. So I will never leave my city.
You know when toilet light isnt going on, flush & sink aint going on....toilet is not on. Ask driver could they start their toilet. its push of the button style
No thanks! I don't want to be trapped inside a bus if the boat starts sinking... Same goes for a train... _EDIT: Oh, you don't stay on the bus during the ferry ride. You get to go up into the ferry during the journey. That's not usually how it works on most bus/train ferries where you stay on the bus/train..._
In Denmark on most or the larger ferries you leave your vehicle. That was also the case for the train ferry that ran between Rødby and Puttgarden up till 2019
You are not even allowed to stay in the car/bus due to safety concerns. If something happens, you need to be up where the staff can find you and see you, and even more important, where all the life west and such are. Only if it is somewhere with very short travel time, like 10-15 minutes, you might be allowed to stay in the car, but then it also typically a much smaller ferry, and even there, you are still allowed to get out if you want.
It's nice to see an INCAT vessel, they are made in our hometown of Hobart Australia, also the hometown of our/your princess Mary.
Oh cool! I didn't know about this
The parking of the ferry in the dock is done automatically when the weather is good. Pretty cool.
I didn't know that, but that is super cool!

There is no doubt that the average bus ticket is cheaper, but my point was that the train often is competitive on price, especially if you're booking in advance and id check that first before resorting to the bus. :-)
@@Simon-Andersen Taking the train after 9 means arriving after lunch. Not a useful choice for the majority of weekday travel scenarios. I even picked a relatively late departure to make the comparison favor the train a bit (the main rush is earlier in the morning).
@@Sakkura1 "Taking the train after 9 means arriving after lunch. Not a useful choice for the majority of weekday travel scenarios. "
I'm sorry, but that's just not true. All the bus commercial companies - Fleet, Kombardo, Flixbus - run plenty of departures throughout the day, but I guess they are just wasting money because the majority wants to arrive before lunch? There are plenty of people traveling between Aarhus and Copenhagen at all hours of the day for various reasons with varying degrees of flexibility.
Of DSB's 37 connections between Aarhus and Copenhagen on the 25th of October, as of posting, 20 have tickets for less than 200kr. So it's my impression that the train usually does not cost 400kr but rather, it costs 400kr if you want to travel at peak times and book at short notice.
Amazing bus! I wish we have it in Sweden but sometime i will try the kombardo express!
Fantastisk video. Hilsen fra Roskilde.
A good idea of public transport, between two different services.
The ferry's a great piece of Australian engineering too, designed and built here
More specifically it's an Incat ship built in Hobart.
Seemed like a high quality ship, will serve us for many years to come
Last time I seen that ferry it was leaving the river Derwent in Hobart Tasmania. 😮
Quite a journey I had on delivery!
Thank you, I like bus reviews too, especially sleeper motor coaches so please review more.
Hm. The Bus Company you showed looks alike the Company in Germany that offers the same Service. Flixbus. A ride from as example Düsseldorf to Nürnberg costs like 19 to 23 Euros. Also using either Double Deck for routes that are needing higher capacity or normal Busses.
But... having a Ship Route is unique. And having it as a Terminal is even more unique. Nicely done by the Ferry Company.
We also have flixbus on this route but they run south and take the bridges to jutland instead :D
Nice! I just knew they drive to some Locations in the Netherlands, Paris and Poland. Rest is covered in GErmany.
9:05 I am sure there's very good reasons (geography and population?) for neither landmass having any buslines leading towards the south, but it does feel like a majorly missed opportunity when seeing the map without such further context.
There are plenty of busses serving the southern part but they opt to use the bridges connecting Sjælland Fyn and Jylland :-)
If you go further south it's probably more efficient to take the route over the island Fyn crossing the water using the bridges. There are bus routes you can take further south, but then you will have to change in Aarhus
@@Simon-Andersen Yeah I looked this up and was amused to see one of the bridges is at a place called Middelfart
(from my limited knowledge of Germanic languages I would guess this means middle way but it's funny to English ears.)
As someone living near London, the thing that impressed me most was TWO staircases in the same bus.
I took a bus from the same terminal south into another ferry to get to Berlin - different operator though. With 6 hoursthe trip was longer than I prefer my bus trips but it was evenly split inti three segmebts: before the ferry, on the ferry and after the ferry. The bus segment is where short enough to be comfortable and the bus was the easiest way to transport our bikes back (the other way we went by bike).
This is just one bus line, there is several companies that operates between Aarhus and Copenhagen.
Great and informative. good job
also i enjoy how the accent chances, suddnly very brittish, a second later, danish again
Hahha thanks! Idk where the british comes from, because i am fully danish 😂
my dad's cousin works in brown tower thing!
I'm surprised the motor coaches are so shabby and broken. I love the bus ferry. That ferry is super fast and looks like it keeps every city easy to travel as a destination
The busses I've been with were far better than this one so I guess he was unlucky
One thing he forgot to mention is that there is free the and coffee on the bus
Mine did not have coffee or the i think. Probably because it was using a bus from another company and not their normal ones. I have no idea how common that is unfortunatly.
I have taken the "Kombardo Expressen" a few times when I had to go from Aarhus to Copenhagen and back multiply times. The journey last about 3 hours and 30 min. and is very reliable. Taken the train by DSB very by which train you take. Is it with many stops, then it will take some more time, is it with few stops then less time it takes. The difference is 3 hours and 10 min. for the slow and 2 hours and 48 min. for the fast.
The trains have the downside of been apple to be cancelled if something happens. However, is this happens to your train you can take another train with the same ticket as long it is in the same timeframe. I think the biggest different between Kombardo and the train is the cost. Personally, I can take the longer journey no problem. The cost very from both sites. In Kombardo for 1 adult with no more than one back (as more will cost you) and no kids, the cost goes from the highest of 219 kr. All the way down to 99 kr. This difference is when you take it, early in the morning or not.
On the other hand, DSB cost for the same, 1 adult with no more than one back and no kids 429 kr. For a standard ticket with no seating. A seating spot is little more costly. However here you can buy an orange ticket with can takes the price all the way down to 139 kr. The problem is that you have to buy that ticket around two weeks before you have to go, or it will be out of stock for that ride.
Make do with this information as you wish.
You can bring 2 kids under 12 years of age on the regular flexible ticket (429), but going across the country with kids you WILL want to pay the 30kr per seat. If I'm travelling alone it's not that important.
What I usually do is to buy 4 seats for me and my 2 kids, and then give away the seat to the first person to ask nicely after we're settled.
😅 very impressive on the quick seat fix
I took it from Aalborg to Copenhagen and back in 2021 - for 99 kr. Actually think it was a pretty decent option considering the price of train or non-DAT flights; even though my way back I got the COVID - on the second day of the end of the mask mandate on buses 😂
Thanks for the video, it brought up some good memories from my time there
Jeg havde håbet at høre dig forklare hvor navnet Kombardo er kommet fra, hihi. 🙂
This needs a separate video. I was also waiting for the song.
@@owieccytI'm more interested in how you would translate "øre", since kroner translates into "crowns" 😂 👑👂
Meget fin video, men en lille ting. Kombardo er en del af Herning turistbusser, og ejes af dem, ikke af Molslinien. Men ellers flot video🎉
Jeg troede faktisk de havde købt Herning turistbusser, men der kan man se. Tak 😃
Thank you, this was unique. I plan on doing the Aarhus to Copenhagen route by bus/ferry, but also plan on doing the Copenhagen to Aarhus by train. This way I get two different adventures between the cities? What do you think?
Sounds good! The train route is also great because you get to expirience the Storebælts crossing (bridge / tunnel) Make sure to book the train in advance for a good price!
This is great. Do you get a checked bag for the bus or is a bag extra. Your videos are so helpful.
@@Simon-Andersenthank you, I did both the bus/ferry to Aarhus and took the train back to Copenhagen. Both fun trips. Couldn’t have done it without all your cool tips and video. Thank you so much.
Great trip. It's unique and great having Ferry service and Long Distance Bus service in same company. I'm curious, if this bus taking route using Belt Bridge, how long this trip can be taken?
Flixbus and Fleet run via the Great Belt bridge and their buses take between 3.25 and 4.05 hours depending on the departure.
No that's bus stops 🚏 in Copenhagen not a bus station!Reminds me of the Flix Bus 'bus station 'in Eindhoven....2 bus stops on a leafy urban street.
10:10 the " hold afstand" sign is funny to me. I am Dutch and we have the word "afstand" too. But not " hold" which would be English for us. So it is a mixed language sign in our eyes. Interesting it isn't in Danish.
BTW, I dont feel 2 week bookin n adance om such a journey is on relatively short booking notice. I feel that is a very long notice in advance.
The sign *IS* in Danish. It means "keep distance".
"Hold" is the imperative form of "at holde" (to hold) and comes from the Old Norse word "halda". The equivalent in Dutch would probably be "houden".
I guess we have different perspectives on time, I usually have planned my trips across the country far in advance. But I mostly travel for leisure, I guess it be different if for family reasons or something :-)
@@Simon-Andersen I usually decide in the morning if and when I go somewhere.
@@mikkolukas Thank you
The sign is also understandable for Germans: We would read it as "Abstand halten".
0:50 What kind of crazy person designs a cycle lane running between a bus and a bus stop?
Where else are they going to put the cycle lane? On the other side of the footpath? That wouldn't work.
Bikes have to stop when a bus is stopped with it's doors open, btw.
@@epender you put the bike path behind the bus platform, like is completely and utterly standard in at least the netherlands and sweden. This is not some difficult problem to solve.
There was never meant to be a bus stop here, never mind a "terminal", but the city's complete lack of proper long distance terminal eventually meant that all the operators gathered here causing this mess. Will be solved next year with the opening of the proper terminal finally!
@@swedneck That would be the standard way to design it in Copenhagen as well for ordinary bus stops. There is no room on this particular street, unless you removed the lane of street parking on the other side. If this was not a temporary situation, that would most certainly happen. This 'terminal' is an utter disgrace.
@@Duffstorama These long distance busses are fairly infrequent, and the bicycle lane didn't have a lot of traffic, so I don't think that it was a big problem.
The city just build a new bus terminal, so the problem should be solved now.
Thank you
Tak for turen. Hilsen fra Australien
Mange tak fordi så med! Hilsen fra København :-)
Thanks for the video :)
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
i like kombardo from cph to aalborg just because the nicer toilets on the ferry then whats in the train.
Ye the ferry is very good! Its a nice break from the bus
Good video. The crack in the bus windscreen got bigger and bigger😳😵💫
I did not even notice that but i think youre right!
I’m guessing that this crossing is entirely within Denmark, so there is no need for passport, luggage and security checks? - across the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin, Irish Ferries operate the similar Dublin Swift fast ferry, which I personally dislike despite the faster crossing time, as the crossing is too rough, even in the Club Class Lounge and is more likely to get cancelled if there is rough weather on the Irish Sea - a few years ago, Stena used to have a similar ferry from Holyhead to Dun Laoire
Yes fully domestic, there is an alternative taking roughly as long and thats driving via Fyn using the great and small belt bridges
@@Simon-Andersen To be fair the Jutlanders would very much like the immigrants from the Devil’s Island (Själland) to need visas.
Kombardo has a route between Copenhagen and Rønne on Bornholm that goes through Sweden to use the ferry between Ystad and Rønne, and that requires passport. At least what I experienced some 5 years ago (albeit by car), but also from what I read online it's still a requirement in 2023. And It's so silly if you ask me, but Sweden is paranoid of weapons getting smuggled into their country via Denmark.
Great video! But as a non danish native I have never seen the train tickets at a comparable price to Kombardo (100 kr vs 400 kr). Where/how do you find the 100kr train tickets you mention in the video?? What life hack am I missing ??
You have to book online on DSBs website or app and buy in advance. The cheapest tickets are on the less busy trains and there are limited of them so the earlier you can book and the more flexible on depature time you are the higher chance of getting one :-) Just as an example the 10th September at 11:04 from Copenhagen to Aarhus is currently selling at 119kr
What I observed wrong , was at the beginning of this informative video ,
With the bicycle lane .
Although the bus stops on the road , passengers have to stand on the bicycle lane ,
to be able to put their luggage in the storage box , "compartment "
Before boarding the bus .
So what if , bike's happens to come along at that time blocking a bike lane , is like blocking the road " it's illegal .
And if a bike happens to ride into you , then it's the bus companies fault or the local council , or am I wrong here 🤔🇬🇧 .
Bikes are meant to yield to pedstians when boarding is happening, ovbiously this does not happen in pratice, so its just one big mess.
last time i took a kombardo bus my seat also just fell off :D
4:22 I know Roskilde as Roastkilled
8:18 Meanwhile in the Philippines, ship companies don't give a shit to bus companies. Hence a very late bus journey.
where is the "bus terminal" on the ferry? Its just a bus that goes onto a ferry.
Still pretty cool.
Its more in the functionality aspect of having the busses timed in a way that passengers make the bus transfer to other bus service onboard the ferry, like a bus terminal. Its just a bit hard to make the long explanation work in a title ;-)
@@Simon-Andersen oh okay, that makes sense. Nice
@@Simon-AndersenI understood!
A very helpful review thanks. However the lack of a working toilet with no facilities until the ferry would render this route unusable for me. The bus should have been taken out of service.
I took a bus onto a ferry in the US state of Washington, from Seattle to Port Angeles. But this is at a whole new level. Love to see videos like this!
Shame you didn't go into what "Kombardo" means 🙂
"Kombardo" is a portmanteau of "Kom", "Bare", "Du"; which is what the ferry stewarts say as you are slowly inching in your car, afraid to hit the other cars or the ferry itself. Can be translated to a brisk but friendly "Go on". The fact that 'e' is gone and 'u' becomes 'o' is because the ferry company wants to signal more coherence to Jutland than to Zealand. Jutland is generally regarded as cheaper in both good and bad.
I’m used to the overnight National Express/Eurolines coaches 880 (withdrawn - from Leeds/Bradford and Manchester/Liverpool) and 871 from London Victoria Coach Station via Birmingham and Holyhead (in Wales) to Dublin Busaras via Irish Ferries to Dublin Port (North Wall) operated in conjunction with Bus Éireann/Transport for Ireland - the crossing time from Holyhead to Dublin on the Irish Ferries Ulysses across the Irish Sea is 3 hours 15 mins, which leaves London at 6pm, Birmingham at 9pm, Holyhead at 1am and arrives in Dublin at 6am the next morning
Long live route 888!
Så skal du med Flixbus
Kind of clever idea but I wonder wouldn't it be more efficient just to have separate busses in each end and save space in the ferry for private paying vehicles.
The buses going on the ferries is easier for passengers with heavy luggage, but keeping the buses on the same side would save space, and allow the buses to run more frequently if they're not sat still on the ferry.
Trade off between having to transfer luggage and longer walking distances for passengers.
@@peter_smyth That probably messes with the stability of the ferry
It looked like the front widow of the bus had a crack.
ye, can you imagine the poor passengers chilling in the seats when impact of a i assume some "small stone" happend?
It did, I should have pointed that out
That crack on the windscreen means the whole piece of glass needs to be replaced. It will be very expensive to do that. Even on standard buses in the UK, a windscreen is £1000, and most are made and sent over from Finland.
why is the bus gate to the ferry on the far left, but then the lane for the ferry is on the far right. Why not make the bus gate on the same side as the bus lane so it doesn't need to cross all the other lanes?
That would also seem way more logical to me
7:24 kinda wondering why that lady was running
Probably thought she was about to be run over by a bus 😂
Why we can't have this kind of nice ferries across Baltic sea ? I mean there is one between Sweden and Germany, but that is all what I can recall.
There are loads of Ferry Lines across the Baltic, including four from Germany to Sweden (Travemünde, Rostock and Sassnitz, all to Trelleborg, plus Kiel-Göteborg). Others include Travemünde-Helsinki, Kiel-Klaipeda, Travemünde-Klaipeda, Travemünde-Liepaja and Puttgarden-Rødvy. And that's only the German ones, there are many Ferries between Finland and Sweden too, and Ferries to Finland and Sweden from Poland and the Baltic Countries. Plus a few ones between Denmark and Sweden, and small ones connecting the Danish Islands that are too small for Bridges and Tunnels to be economical.
@@Genius_at_Work Thank you. I thought like high-speed like this catamaran, which seems to be competitive.
@@travelvideos That would be Sassnitz-Trelleborg. There also is Hirtshals-Kristiansand in the Skagerrak, plus the one from Sweden to Bornholm. Most of the ones I mentioned before are way too long for Highspeed Ferries though.
I think they are quite expensive to operate due to the high fuel usage so often they only make commercial sense on shorter routes
@@Simon-Andersen That plus they just aren't comfortable. The Airplane-style Seating Arrangement is hard to justify for Voyages longer than 2-3 Hours, and most importantly Catamarans just ride uncomfortably. The low Metacentric Height of a Catamaran makes it "stiff" in the Waves, meaning to say it doesn't roll far but it does roll fast and abruptly. That's why Catamarans are much more likely to cause Seasickness than conventional Ships.
Har du husket samtykke fra alle de folk du filmer?
Havde du smidt en video op af mig der ligger og sover, havde jeg lagt sag an for brud på EMRK og GDPR.
Nu er jeg ikke advokat, men som jeg ser det så I persondataloven skelnes der mellem situationsoptagelser og portrætter. Som udgangspunkt er det tilladt at optage i det offentlige rum uden at indhente samtykke fra personer, der måtte kunne identificeres på optagelsen, så længe optagelserne ikke portrætterer individuelle personer. Da jeg ikke retter kameraet mod specifikke personer, mener jeg, at der er tale om situationsoptagelser.
Jeg har ikke kendskab til retssager specifikt i Danmark vedrørende offentlig transport, men i henhold til Datatilsynets retningslinjer mener jeg, at mine optagelser hører under samme kategori som koncerter, zoologiske haver, gågade eller andre offentligt tilgængelige steder, hvor optagelser som udgangspunkt kan offentliggøres uden samtykke. Du kan finde flere oplysninger her: www.datatilsynet.dk/hvad-siger-reglerne/vejledning/internet-medier-og-apps-/billeder-paa-internettet.
Jeg kan ikke finde noget i Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedskonvention (EMKR), der fastslår, at du har ret til, at der ikke må offentliggøres optagelser af dig uden dit samtykke. Men det ville være interessant at se, hvordan en dommer ville se en optagelse i en offentlig bus i forhold til persondataloven (GDPR).
"Som udgangspunkt har man ret til at tage billeder af folk på offentlige steder, men denne ret kan ikke bruges til frit at offentliggøre alle de billeder, som man tager. Man må fx ikke offentliggøre fotos, hvor man har zoomet ind og taget et nærbillede af en topløs pige på en strand, men derimod må man offentliggøre et oversigtsbillede, hvor pigen og mange andre badegæster er på.
Hvis man går meget tæt på personer med sit kamera, fx helt hen til den topløse pige på stranden eller en privat person på Strøget, skal man efterkomme deres ønske om at fjerne sig. Men de pågældende kan ikke forbyde, at der bliver taget billeder af dem på afstand."

I wonder where that ferry was built?
They're built by Incat in Hobart, Tasmania.
Seat softness : Flixbus.... bad.... Kombardo : softer , and better. Trust me.
You should have showed the hotel you went to... And showed how much it cost.
I didn't go to a hotel so it would have been very hard to do that
Did you report the broken seat to the driver?
Yes he was aware
I'm surprised that the bus check-in kiosk is on the left hand side of the row of kiosks and yet after passing the kiosk it has to head over to the right hand side to reach the bus channel crossing over all the car/vans coming from the other vehicle kiosks.
Being a totally illogical Scot I'd have thought it would make more sense for the bus kiosk to be on the right hand side.
ho hum.😉😂
Yeah that does seem strange, i would assume they could just turn the lights for any lane green first, maybe a relic from when the port was smaller.
Yeah well... central Copenhagen isn't exactly a great match with long haul tourist busses. The city busses have a much more orderly terminal at the opposite side of Kbh H station... but even that one doesn't come close to the bus terminals in jutland (Vejle, Viborg or Herning for instance), they're designed with a lot more flexibility in mind, and could easily handle way more traffic than they have.
It would make more sense if the long haulers would just aim for the outer traffic hubs around Copenhagen, like Flintholm or the upcoming Ny Ellebjerg... but then the long haulers would need to enter agreements with the local bus/train/metro operators to be able to sell a ticket to midtown to their customers. That would probably push the price up.
I believe that you were just unlucky about the lavatory not working at all, that said, I'd pretty much try to avoid the lavatory on whatever bus... they're never close to being nice... they're for emergencies only in my book.
But I think it's worth to mention that if you want a train ticket at a competitive price you need to book well in advance, those tickets are only on departures that are in general not popular because of their timing, and they can be sold out.
A flexible train ticket is usually 3-4 times that price... and you'd probably want to pay the 30dkk extra to have a guaranteed seat on a long haul.
My favourite part is the kombardo song at the end of the ferry
Even Though I’m American I am Actually 50 Percent Danish 😮
kombardo kombardo kombardo, vi sejler hele dagen så kombaro.
This is what comes from not investing in hovercraft buses.
That was the precessor
Wow. We don't have buses here that go between cities. We have city buses that travel across cities to a neighboring city. But nothing that travels more than 10 to 20 miles in total. If I wanted to go 100 miles I would have to fly or find someone that I could pay to drive me. I don't own a car and the luxury of being able to get from one city to another for less than around 500 to 700 dollars would be great. The local and national buses went out of business and there is no replacement. I live in Canada on the west coast. I can't afford a car and I can't afford to fly. So I will never leave my city.
Thats unfortunate, unfortuately over in Canada and the US for that matter, public transport is not as much of a priority.

@@Simon-Andersen Yeah, I don't mind staying in my own car on a ferry since I can get out. But I'm scared to stay on a bus or train on a ferry...
You are not even allowed to stay in the car/bus due to safety concerns. If something happens, you need to be up where the staff can find you and see you, and even more important, where all the life west and such are.
Only if it is somewhere with very short travel time, like 10-15 minutes, you might be allowed to stay in the car, but then it also typically a much smaller ferry, and even there, you are still allowed to get out if you want.
So you choose what is statistically by far the most dangerous form of transport for "safety". That's an ..interesting.. take.@@fredashay
