Single tickets, multi trip tickets and special tickets can only be used in Midttrafik buses, Letbanen and Midtjyske Jernbaner.

Purchased tickets and activated charges can be viewed offline. You cannot use the Wi-Fi connection in the bus or Letbanen, as your must buy your ticket before boarding. 

Midttrafik app is owned by Midttrafik, Søren Nymarks Vej 3, 8270 Højbjerg, CVR no. 29943176.

Tickets will be issued to the user making the purchase and can only be displayed/used on the device on which it was purchased. Tickets must be used by the individual or group (in the case of group tickets) that made the purchase and must not be shared with others. It is not permitted to copy, print, change or forward tickets purchased in Midttrafik app.

Transit tickets must be purchased on the users own account, as the account holder's name is automatically applied on the season pass.

Transit tickets can only be used on one device at a time. You can change device once a day.

Tickets must be purchased and received before boarding. If you board a bus, Letbanen or Lemvigbanen before receiving your ticket, you will be travelling without a valid ticket.

Single tickets, multi trip tickets and special tickets can only be used in Midttrafik buses, Letbanen and Midtjyske Jernbaner.

Transit tickets can be used in buses, Letbanen, Midtjyske Jernbaner and trains operated by Arriva and DSB within the zone validity.

There are two sets of rules with respect to the valid time period:

For journeys within Aarhus municipality:
The valid time period is 2 hours and 15 minutes (2 hours as for a normal ticket plus 15 minutes because tickets from Midttrafik app must be purchased before boarding.) You must have completed your journey before the end of the valid time period. For example, if your ticket expires at 10:00, you must get off by 10:00 at the latest.

Additional ticket: Please note that an additional ticket for travels within Aarhus municipality only expands the validity of zones and not time because the time validity is permanent.

For other journeys:
The valid time period depends on the number of zones:
2 zones: 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes)
3 zones: 90 minutes (1 hour and 30 minutes)
4 zones: 105 minutes (1 hour and 45 minutes)
5 zones: 120 minutes (2 hours)
6 zones: 130 minutes (2 hours and 10 minutes)

Thereafter, the valid time period increases by 10 minutes with each additional zone.

The last stage of your journey must begin within the valid time period. For example, if the valid time period ends at 10:00, you must have boarded by 10:00 at the latest. The ticket will show you the latest time you can board.

Midttrafik app will calculate the valid time period.

Additional ticket: Please note that an additional ticket to other travels expands the time validity according to the number of zones. See the table above. If you have used a charge on a two zones multi trip ticket and travel three zones, an additional ticket will provide you with a time validity of 1 hour and 30 minutes – even though the ticket is visible in two hours.

You cannot increase the valid time period by using more charges on your multi trip ticket.

The fare is double when you travel on a night bus, regardless of how short or long your journey is. In other words, you must use two single tickets or two charges from a multi trip ticket to travel on a night bus. If you have a transit ticket, you must purchase one single ticket or use a charge from a multi trip ticket.

You must be able to show your ticket to the driver or at any ticket control. You are responsible for making sure your device is charged and that the screen is readable. If you are unable to present a ticket, you risk paying an inspection fee.
