The DSB app is part of your journey. Here you can find tickets, commuter cards, and traffic information. In the DSB app, you can purchase Orange tickets, a commuter card, or use Check in, and see current traffic information and an overview of departures. You can also buy a seat reservation for your trip. You can find cheap Orange and Orange Free tickets on a wide selection of our departures. Check in is a new digital ticket at Rejsekort prices*, for those who need to travel here and now. Just swipe before you board, and travel as far as needed with all public transport in Zealand, Funen, and Jutland. We will check you out automatically or remind you to do so. When you buy a ticket or check in through our app, you earn points on your journey, which can be used at 7-Eleven at the station. You just need to be logged in with your DSB Plus profile and accept our points terms. And if you check in, part of the journey must be with DSB trains. You can purchase, renew, and refund commuter cards and have your youth card delivered in the app if it is from DSB. If you experience any issues while using the app, you can call us at 70 13 14 15 every day from 7 AM to 8 PM. Download the DSB app and get everything you need for your journey in one place. *Check in with DSB’s app costs the same as a personal Rejsekort if you are an adult in the age range 26-66. As a youth aged 18 to 25 and 67+, you will receive your usual age discount.
