Sweden

Malmö

A port town at the Swedish end of the bridge from Copenhagen. Only its green city buses take a tap of a bank card.

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) and Malmö Airport (MMX)

Malmö's real gateway is across the border - Copenhagen Airport. One Skånetrafiken ticket runs through to CPH Airport station, about 23 minutes out. Malmö Airport has no railway; a coach serves it.

How to ride

  1. 1
    Buy before you board, in the app or at a machine
    Tickets are not sold on the train. Buy through to your destination at a station machine or in the Skånetrafiken app.
  2. 2
    Board the train to Copenhagen Airport
    Trains leave from Malmö C, Triangeln and Hyllie - about 23 minutes from Malmö C, and one an hour right through the night.
  3. 3
    Keep your passport within reach
    Valid ID is needed both ways. Coming back, police check at Hyllie - if you get off there, it happens on the platform.
  4. 4
    Ride on with the same ticket
    Within the zones you bought, a single or 24-hour ticket covers the metro; 30-day and Flex tickets need the add-on.
  5. 5
    For Malmö Airport, take the airport coach
    From stop K at Malmö C, the Vy flygbussarna coach takes 40-50 minutes. Its ticket is valid on any departure for three months.

Heads-up

  • Crossing the strait on a reskort needs the paper receipt

    If your ticket sits on a physical Skånetrafiken reskort and you are crossing to Denmark, carry the inspektionskvitto that lists what is on the card. Without it the card is not accepted as a valid ticket and you are exposed to the penalty fare. Print it at a machine in Skåne or get it at a customer centre; the receipt alone is not a ticket.

  • The Danish side works only inside the zones you bought

    A cross-border single lets you use Danish public transport only inside område F+L - zones 1, 3 and 4 - from 00:00 to 23:59 on the service day printed on the ticket. Carrying on to the metro or the S-trains counts inside that area; outside it the ticket is not valid, so buy on from DSB.

  • No capped taxi fare at Malmö Airport

    Swedish taxi pricing is deregulated and Malmö Airport has no capped contract fare. You are not obliged to take the first car in the rank, so compare the comparison price - black digits on yellow, for a 10 km, 15 minute trip - before choosing. Ask whether a fixed price applies and check that it is entered in the meter before you set off.
