Common card · No. 364165

The Copenhagen S-train (Danish: S-tog) is a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Copenhagen and the surrounding Øresund Region. The trains connect the Copenhagen inner city with Hillerød, Klampenborg, Frederikssund, Farum, Høje-Taastrup and Køge. There are 170 km (110 mi) of double track with 87 S-train stations, of which eight are in neighbouring towns outside Greater Copenhagen. It is part of the pan-European family of S-Bahn rapid transit networks, based on the concept originating in Germany, from which it takes its name. The S-train is run by DSB S-tog A/S while Banedanmark owns the tracks and signals. Rail services are operated by "Fourth Generation" S-trains divided into 104 8-car train sets (Class SA) and 31 4-car train sets (Class SE). The system operates in tandem with the separately owned Copenhagen Metro which operates in the city centre, Frederiksberg and Amager. The two systems carry 700,000 passengers daily with S-tog serving more than 357,000 passengers...
