It's nice to see an INCAT vessel, they are made in our hometown of Hobart Australia, also the hometown of our/your princess Mary.

Great video 😊 Please note the train can get you to Aarhus H in about 2 hours and 40 minutes with the lyntog+. Also note that Kroner is also kroner in English, you don't translate it into "Crowns" (just as you wouldn't translate "ører" into "ears")

Reminds me of my first time in Aarhus.....early 1980s . We were visiting my Wife's ( a Dane) cousin for a few days. They sent me out to the local bakery to buy some rolls. On the way back I was stopped by a man (holding a bible) who started taking to me all about Relgion, I said the very few words of Danish that I knew, saying jeg snak igge Danske (excuse the bad spelling! ). He then spoke to me in "perfect English" ......took me nearly 20 minutes to make my escape😂 Haven't been back to Denmark for over ten years....the wife can't be bothered to go back as most of her family are dead now.

I took it from Aalborg to Copenhagen and back in 2021 - for 99 kr. Actually think it was a pretty decent option considering the price of train or non-DAT flights; even though my way back I got the COVID - on the second day of the end of the mask mandate on buses 😂 Thanks for the video, it brought up some good memories from my time there

@simon anderson | I love how you said in slight anger "there is litterally nothing here other than these 2 shelters!"

i have taken this bus route many times from aalborg to copenhagen or ballerup. it works quite well their are some issue with the busses them selves (such as toilets not working) but the service is great, much cheaper then the trains and you get to stretch your legs on the ferry. also sometimes the busses are delayed for one reason or the other and the ferry will wait for the bus to arrive within reason of course its not going to wait for an hour. also sometime the buss drivers need to reverse all the way through the ferry and its quite exiting to watch how close the drivers get to the yellow metal beams.

Thank you, I like bus reviews too, especially sleeper motor coaches so please review more.

Thank you

Thanks for the video :)

I think the bus, and at times semi trucks, has first priotiry because of weight distribution and making it easier for the bigger vehicles to get parked and settled before the cars come on board. I had tried to take a bus drive where we had to cross the Langeland Belt by ferry. The bus (As a public transport bus at the time) was allowed onboard first, followed by semi trucks and then cars

Fantastisk video. Hilsen fra Roskilde.

Fed video. God grafik og forklaringer :) Har aldrig selv kørt med Kombardo bussen til Aarhus men det ser da ikke helt dumt ud.

😅 very impressive on the quick seat fix

Great and informative. good job

The parking of the ferry in the dock is done automatically when the weather is good. Pretty cool.

A good idea of public transport, between two different services.

I naively thought of Denmark as clean, tidy and well-maintained. The capital’s bus station and a bus with broken seats, a cracked front window and non-functional lavatory gives a different impression. Might as well stay in UK.

Great trip. It's unique and great having Ferry service and Long Distance Bus service in same company. I'm curious, if this bus taking route using Belt Bridge, how long this trip can be taken?

Good video. The crack in the bus windscreen got bigger and bigger😳😵‍💫

Tak for turen. Hilsen fra Australien

The ferry's a great piece of Australian engineering too, designed and built here

be sure to show us the new shelter when its finished!

my dad's cousin works in brown tower thing!

I took a bus onto a ferry in the US state of Washington, from Seattle to Port Angeles. But this is at a whole new level. Love to see videos like this!

Hm. The Bus Company you showed looks alike the Company in Germany that offers the same Service. Flixbus. A ride from as example Düsseldorf to Nürnberg costs like 19 to 23 Euros. Also using either Double Deck for routes that are needing higher capacity or normal Busses. But... having a Ship Route is unique. And having it as a Terminal is even more unique. Nicely done by the Ferry Company.

last time i took a kombardo bus my seat also just fell off :D

Last time I seen that ferry it was leaving the river Derwent in Hobart Tasmania. 😮

I'm surprised the motor coaches are so shabby and broken. I love the bus ferry. That ferry is super fast and looks like it keeps every city easy to travel as a destination

I have taken the "Kombardo Expressen" a few times when I had to go from Aarhus to Copenhagen and back multiply times. The journey last about 3 hours and 30 min. and is very reliable. Taken the train by DSB very by which train you take. Is it with many stops, then it will take some more time, is it with few stops then less time it takes. The difference is 3 hours and 10 min. for the slow and 2 hours and 48 min. for the fast. The trains have the downside of been apple to be cancelled if something happens. However, is this happens to your train you can take another train with the same ticket as long it is in the same timeframe. I think the biggest different between Kombardo and the train is the cost. Personally, I can take the longer journey no problem. The cost very from both sites. In Kombardo for 1 adult with no more than one back (as more will cost you) and no kids, the cost goes from the highest of 219 kr. All the way down to 99 kr. This difference is when you take it, early in the morning or not. On the other hand, DSB cost for the same, 1 adult with no more than one back and no kids 429 kr. For a standard ticket with no seating. A seating spot is little more costly. However here you can buy an orange ticket with can takes the price all the way down to 139 kr. The problem is that you have to buy that ticket around two weeks before you have to go, or it will be out of stock for that ride. Make do with this information as you wish.

Long live route 888!

Jeg havde håbet at høre dig forklare hvor navnet Kombardo er kommet fra, hihi. 🙂

i like kombardo from cph to aalborg just because the nicer toilets on the ferry then whats in the train.

Meget fin video, men en lille ting. Kombardo er en del af Herning turistbusser, og ejes af dem, ikke af Molslinien. Men ellers flot video🎉

Thank you, this was unique. I plan on doing the Aarhus to Copenhagen route by bus/ferry, but also plan on doing the Copenhagen to Aarhus by train. This way I get two different adventures between the cities? What do you think?

No that's bus stops 🚏 in Copenhagen not a bus station!Reminds me of the Flix Bus 'bus station 'in Eindhoven....2 bus stops on a leafy urban street.

10:10 the " hold afstand" sign is funny to me. I am Dutch and we have the word "afstand" too. But not " hold" which would be English for us. So it is a mixed language sign in our eyes. Interesting it isn't in Danish. BTW, I dont feel 2 week bookin n adance om such a journey is on relatively short booking notice. I feel that is a very long notice in advance.

14:17 Usually the train costs way more than that. Around 400 DKK. From Aarhus to Copenhagen at around 8:45 AM on Wednesday next week (outside of the holiday and just after the more heavily booked early-morning departures), Kombardo costs 119 DKK while the train costs 364 DKK, plus another 30 for seat reservation (without that, you may have to move, or stand if all seats are booked). The train is just far more expensive.

I’m guessing that this crossing is entirely within Denmark, so there is no need for passport, luggage and security checks? - across the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin, Irish Ferries operate the similar Dublin Swift fast ferry, which I personally dislike despite the faster crossing time, as the crossing is too rough, even in the Club Class Lounge and is more likely to get cancelled if there is rough weather on the Irish Sea - a few years ago, Stena used to have a similar ferry from Holyhead to Dun Laoire

I'm surprised that the bus check-in kiosk is on the left hand side of the row of kiosks and yet after passing the kiosk it has to head over to the right hand side to reach the bus channel crossing over all the car/vans coming from the other vehicle kiosks. Being a totally illogical Scot I'd have thought it would make more sense for the bus kiosk to be on the right hand side. ho hum.😉😂

9:05 I am sure there's very good reasons (geography and population?) for neither landmass having any buslines leading towards the south, but it does feel like a majorly missed opportunity when seeing the map without such further context.

Even Though I’m American I am Actually 50 Percent Danish 😮

My favourite part is the kombardo song at the end of the ferry

kombardo kombardo kombardo, vi sejler hele dagen så kombaro.

Har du husket samtykke fra alle de folk du filmer? Havde du smidt en video op af mig der ligger og sover, havde jeg lagt sag an for brud på EMRK og GDPR.

Shame you didn't go into what "Kombardo" means 🙂 "Kombardo" is a portmanteau of "Kom", "Bare", "Du"; which is what the ferry stewarts say as you are slowly inching in your car, afraid to hit the other cars or the ferry itself. Can be translated to a brisk but friendly "Go on". The fact that 'e' is gone and 'u' becomes 'o' is because the ferry company wants to signal more coherence to Jutland than to Zealand. Jutland is generally regarded as cheaper in both good and bad.

where is the "bus terminal" on the ferry? Its just a bus that goes onto a ferry. Still pretty cool.

I’m used to the overnight National Express/Eurolines coaches 880 (withdrawn - from Leeds/Bradford and Manchester/Liverpool) and 871 from London Victoria Coach Station via Birmingham and Holyhead (in Wales) to Dublin Busaras via Irish Ferries to Dublin Port (North Wall) operated in conjunction with Bus Éireann/Transport for Ireland - the crossing time from Holyhead to Dublin on the Irish Ferries Ulysses across the Irish Sea is 3 hours 15 mins, which leaves London at 6pm, Birmingham at 9pm, Holyhead at 1am and arrives in Dublin at 6am the next morning

Seat softness : Flixbus.... bad.... Kombardo : softer , and better. Trust me.

4:22 I know Roskilde as Roastkilled 8:18 Meanwhile in the Philippines, ship companies don't give a shit to bus companies. Hence a very late bus journey.

0:50 What kind of crazy person designs a cycle lane running between a bus and a bus stop?

why is the bus gate to the ferry on the far left, but then the lane for the ferry is on the far right. Why not make the bus gate on the same side as the bus lane so it doesn't need to cross all the other lanes?

Kind of clever idea but I wonder wouldn't it be more efficient just to have separate busses in each end and save space in the ferry for private paying vehicles.

What I observed wrong , was at the beginning of this informative video , With the bicycle lane . Although the bus stops on the road , passengers have to stand on the bicycle lane , to be able to put their luggage in the storage box , "compartment " Before boarding the bus . So what if , bike's happens to come along at that time blocking a bike lane , is like blocking the road " it's illegal . And if a bike happens to ride into you , then it's the bus companies fault or the local council , or am I wrong here 🤔🇬🇧 .

I wonder where that ferry was built?

Did you report the broken seat to the driver?

Yeah well... central Copenhagen isn't exactly a great match with long haul tourist busses. The city busses have a much more orderly terminal at the opposite side of Kbh H station... but even that one doesn't come close to the bus terminals in jutland (Vejle, Viborg or Herning for instance), they're designed with a lot more flexibility in mind, and could easily handle way more traffic than they have. It would make more sense if the long haulers would just aim for the outer traffic hubs around Copenhagen, like Flintholm or the upcoming Ny Ellebjerg... but then the long haulers would need to enter agreements with the local bus/train/metro operators to be able to sell a ticket to midtown to their customers. That would probably push the price up. I believe that you were just unlucky about the lavatory not working at all, that said, I'd pretty much try to avoid the lavatory on whatever bus... they're never close to being nice... they're for emergencies only in my book. But I think it's worth to mention that if you want a train ticket at a competitive price you need to book well in advance, those tickets are only on departures that are in general not popular because of their timing, and they can be sold out. A flexible train ticket is usually 3-4 times that price... and you'd probably want to pay the 30dkk extra to have a guaranteed seat on a long haul.

It looked like the front widow of the bus had a crack.

A very helpful review thanks. However the lack of a working toilet with no facilities until the ferry would render this route unusable for me. The bus should have been taken out of service.

Why we can't have this kind of nice ferries across Baltic sea ? I mean there is one between Sweden and Germany, but that is all what I can recall.

7:24 kinda wondering why that lady was running

Wow. We don't have buses here that go between cities. We have city buses that travel across cities to a neighboring city. But nothing that travels more than 10 to 20 miles in total. If I wanted to go 100 miles I would have to fly or find someone that I could pay to drive me. I don't own a car and the luxury of being able to get from one city to another for less than around 500 to 700 dollars would be great. The local and national buses went out of business and there is no replacement. I live in Canada on the west coast. I can't afford a car and I can't afford to fly. So I will never leave my city.

You should have showed the hotel you went to... And showed how much it cost.

This is what comes from not investing in hovercraft buses.

Du burde sku da og blive tur guide!!

You know when toilet light isnt going on, flush & sink aint going on....toilet is not on. Ask driver could they start their toilet. its push of the button style

Hej

It's better than Greyhound in the US.

this is like the ferry from mainland italy to sicily but without organized crime running it

First

🚌⛴️👍

No thanks! I don't want to be trapped inside a bus if the boat starts sinking... Same goes for a train... _EDIT: Oh, you don't stay on the bus during the ferry ride. You get to go up into the ferry during the journey. That's not usually how it works on most bus/train ferries where you stay on the bus/train..._
