Rejsekort & Rejseplan, Denmark’s national ticketing agency owned by the country’s public transport operators, launched its Rejsekort as an app one year ago this month.
The launch of the pay-as-you-go, GPS-enabled app is noteworthy. It’s believed to be the first and still the only time a country has embarked on a mobile-first strategy for public transport payments and attempted to replace a much-used closed-loop fare card with a mobile app.
Records of journeys over the past year (see table and charts below), show project backers are making substantial progress.
