| A while ago I asked about travelling by train from Copenhagen to Nord Jylland and by bus within Nord Jylland. I was directed to the "Rejseplanen" web site (where one can inquire for point-to-point itineraries) and to the local public transport authority site http://www.nordjyllandstrafikselskab.dk where one can find a route map and timetables for individual routes. I have however still a few questions : 1) One is a technical curiosity (for the misc.transport.* NGs) : In the Rejseplanen output there is a "Journey" column which sometimes contains a number (like 79) or a name (like Si-bus) which I believe is a bus line. Some times (for trains) contains a code like PP 79, or IC 123 ... which cannot be a train number because it is repeated for different trains. 2) The other questions are practical : I can find numbered bus line timetables on http://www.nordjyllandstrafikselskab.dk, but I cannot find there those indicated as SI-bus on Rejseplanen. What are they ? a different company ? has it a web site ? Also I note there sometimes a line is indicated as "telebus" or "teletaxi". What's that ? 3) concerning tickets, the above site reports the zone boundaries. I cannot find reference for fares (at least in English). I have been mentioned a touristcard (90 kr for 24 hrs on all buses and trains in North Jutland) and a 10 trip card. Is the latter similar to the Dutch strippenkaart system ? I.e. do I understand correctly you stamp two strips as a minimum and one extra strip for each zone from the third onwards ? Are the strip tickets valid on any bus and any route, or depend on the company, line etc. ? Where are they sold ? On buses, at tobacconists, at post offices ? Are the two private rail stretches (Frederikshavn-Skagen and Hjorring-Hirsthals) covered by the strip ticket system, or do they have joint tariffs with DSB, or are they altogether separate ? 4) I have been also told that people over 65 are entitled to 50 % reduction - no documentation needed. Since I will be travelling with my mother, and I do not expect all bus drivers to speak English, what is the phrase in Danish to ask for "one normal and one reduced" ticket ? (do not worry about the pronounciation, I can ask on an italian language newsgroup about that !) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nospam@ifctr.mi.cnr.it is a newsreading account used by more persons to avoid unwanted spam.
