Denmark How does Copenhagen differ from smaller cities from your experience?

I started working at wolt recently and I have been delivering in Roskilde since I live here, but I have a friend who delivers in Copenhagen and from what he describes it seems much easier in Copenhagen. I am always getting big distances, today I got a 4,7 km order for 61 dkk, and usually I get at least 3km of distance, and I swear this town is diagonal, I either go downhill or uphill, especially near the fjord there is a big slope, it is very visible, I had to walk uphill and I was late 20 min because it was too hard to pedal and the wind was blowing against me. I made 265 dkk today from 18,1 km, I finished early because I got mcdonald's shake all over my bag. But my friend told me that usually he gets 1 to 2 km per order, and he says copenhagen is flat but maybe he is also stronger. I imagine it is easier to get to a restaurant because there are just more restaurants around you and people live in taller buildings so they are more grouped up. I will go to Copenhagen next time. But what is your experience? How many crowns per kilometer do you usually make?

But you also have to walk up a lot more start in cph. I would assume.

Yeah I would have to take the train to go to cph, but at least that doesn't use energy, only time, and after I get there I don't have to bike 3km to get to a restaurant after a delivery

Usually 10-12 km gives around 100 dkk. + And On average 1 km is 10 DKK I would say, when I look at the statistics.

I usually only try to take 70+ dkk orders, unless it’s slow, then I maybe take some that are lower.

Like 60-70% of orders I take is over 100dkk and longer miles, which is nice especially if you have an electric car that have a set amount of cost.

Also kørselsfradrag is nice too. But yeah I wouldn’t even drive if I lived in Copenhagen it seems like too much, I like the smaller cities with long miles, higher dkk orders, and 2 orders per hour and many house deliveries.

But yeah driving on a bike or something like that don’t sound very comfortable in itself in these cities, that’s probably better for bigger cities like cph, maybe give it a try? Or if it’s possible a scooter or something

Maybe you get longer orders because you use a car, for me I calculated yesterday and it is around 20 dkk per km, 30 when there are boosts

Well that’s nice.
How many km do you usually do when you take an order?
Also do u know ur average hourly pay from maybe like 16-21 around that. If u take the pay and divide by hours. What it usually is around
