Copenhagen Launches Climate-Friendly Tour Bus

Copenhagen has a new climate-friendly bus route. The electric-powered CityCirkel buses run every seven minutes and go past some of Copenhagen's top attractions. Tickets for the ordinary buses, trains and Metro are also valid on the CityCirkel buses. Line 11 CityCirkel (city circle) is Copenhagen's new electric bus route. The buses run all day on electricity from batteries which are charged during the night. Thus the electric driven buses emit less CO2 than cars and ordinary buses, and there is no pollution from exhaust fumes and hazardous particles from the new buses.

The buses are shorter and narrower than ordinary buses. Therefore, they can run in the narrow streets of the medieval city where the ordinary buses cannot. However, the CityCirkel buses still connect with other means of public transport in Copenhagen at City Hall Square, Kongens Nytorv, Copenhagen central train station, Nørreport and Vesterport station as well as with the water buses.

The buses stop at the normal bus stops, wherever it is possible. But the CityCirkel buses also have their own bus stops, and in some places they can be hailed with a wave, wherever you find green dots at the curb. Tickets and cards used for public transport in Copenhagen are also valid on the CityCirkel line. The plan is to make the buses completely free of charge.
