Denmark’s S-train celebrate 90 years of service

Denmark’s iconic ‘S-Bahn’ commuter trains celebrate 90 years of service today, and are “ in good shape to take on 90 more,” says DSB. DSB helps Danes celebrate with free travel on the S-trains all day on Saturday, April 6, with an open house event at the S-train workshop in Høje Taastrup.

The S-train is « one of the world’s best urban railways, which on a typical day carries 350,000 customers to work, school, leisure activities – and to parties, » in the words of Flemming Jensen, CEO of DSB. « You’d be hard-pressed to find a 90-year-old in better shape than the S-train. The railway is a vital lifeline in the metropolitan area, thanks in no small part to the daily close collaboration between DSB and Banedanmark., » says Peter Svendsen, Director of Traffic at Banedanmark.
