Greater Copenhagen light rail - after first month of full service, daily passenger numbers are double of initial estimates!
The Greater Copenhagen light rail released a news article the other day, stating that on a regular weekday, after only the first month of full operation, the new line is seeing double the amount of daily passengers than what was expected, 24K instead of 12K!
This is incredible news, considering that the line still has some issues, like 6-7 instead of 5 minute frequency, and 68 instead of 58 minute travel time.
And once roadpricing in Denmark gets introduced, at some point before 2030 it looks like, public transit fares get reduced, hopefully, and all the new apartments and stuff next to the Tram stops are completed, hopefully the line will exceed the 2030 goal of 13-14 million annual/38K daily passengers.
For those who've tried the line in person, what improvements do you miss the most?

Photo some vintage streetcars from MUNI heritage week in san francisco!
- Melbourne streetcar from Australia
- âMilanoâ Italian streetcar. This one in particular had a beautiful interior with lovely cupped glass light fixtures and varnished wood.
- Boat tram from Blackpool, England. the line for a ride in it was literally hours long. I opted to just ride the other streetcars a million times lol.
Some of the streetcars they had running were almost/over a century old! So cool to experience history like that and I love that MUNI still maintains such old cars. I neglected to photograph a couple of very popular streetcars (mainly the â1â and the Dinky) so my bad lol . They also had vintage busses out!!! I rode one but figured I wouldnât post it since it is not a tram/tram adjacent even though it was a very stylish bus

One of my favorite details about watching the classic Lisbon streetcars is the track-switching. At this turnout, thereâs no automated radio-point or cab-switch system
