 You can find other hotels from around 500 DKK per night by searching google for "hotels Odense" and some BBs to less than 500 DKK. Note that hotels might be cheaper via their own web site than on hotels.com etc.
-==== Bus tickets ====
+==== Local transport in Odense ====
-  * Fynbus web page is [[http://www.fynbus.dk/?lang=29|here]]. Notice that there is a Fynbus app.
+Revised April 2024 by Hans Jørgen.
-  * Regular bus tickets for local travel in Odense cost DKK 24 in cash for a single ride (including changing lines) and are valid for 1 hour.
-  * With the fynbus app it is the same price, but you will be able to pay with your credit card. The ticket must be bought before entering the bus and you show the ticket on your smart phone when you enter the bus.
+  * Note that the local bus lines have changed since the tram line was opened, so do not look for the bus numbers you used previously!
-  * Bus routes Railway station - campground ([[http://www.fynbus.dk/find-din-rejse/rute,60|line 61-62]])
+  * Both the cheapest and the simplest is to use the new "Odense NU" mobile tickets: 15 kr for 26+, 10 kr if you are 25 or younger. They are valid for one hour for both buses and the tram, as long as you stay inside Odense Kommune. You can read the QR code at the tram stops to buy the ticket, or you can download and use the app "Rejsebillet". Or on [[https://www.odenseletbane.dk/english]].
-  * Bus routes Railway station - university ([[http://www.fynbus.dk/find-din-rejse/rute,40|line 41-44]])
+  * In the "Rejsebillet" app (after having added a credit card and switched to English), choose "Special Tickets" and scroll for "Odense NOW". If you filter "Sold by Fynbus", it is easier to find it, because there are many special tickets!!!
+  * Use [[https://rejseplanen.dk]] to find your best connection, for example to the campground. The railway station is "Odense St." and the campground is "DCU-Odense City Camp".
+  * Even easier: Download the "Rejseplanen" app and use that. I use it every time I travel in DK!
+  * Railway station - university: use Odense Letbane (tram, light rail). There is no direct bus connection Railway Station - university any more. Use QR code shown at tram stops or buy with the app "Rejsebillet".
   * A map of all bus lines in Odense can be found [[https://fynbus.dk/filarkiv/Find%20din%20rejse/Kort/Rutekort/OBC_OdenseKort__regional_juli22.pdf|here]]
-  * Arriving by train to Odense on a regular train ticket (not discount "orange ticket" bought on [[http://www.dsb.dk/en/]]) you can use your train ticket for the bus and get a free ride (to the campground).
-  * (Not recommended by Hans Jørgen, unless you plan to travel in Denmark regularly.) You can buy a public transport card ("Rejsekort anonymous") valid in entire Denmark already at the airport in Copenhagen which you can charge and use for all train and bus rides. However it is quite expensive in start-up fee (110 DKK) + 600 DKK pre-paid to be able to use it for national travel (e.g. to CPH-Odense). In general, you have to charge it with enough money in a "Rejsekort automat" for any travel before the travel. As far as we can see you cannot get a refund of unused money. Furthermore, without a Danish address you won't be able to get receipt for the different travelled distances.[[http://www.rejsekort.dk]]
