Newswire From a news agency Ongoing story
  • Flex transport services in several Danish regions faced disruptions for a third consecutive day because operators lacked vehicles.
  • Midttrafik and Sydtrafik said passengers must book at least two hours ahead, while hospital trips and other essential journeys will be prioritized.
  • The disruption followed the suspension of services by provider LS Busser, which said its operating capital had been seized.

Flex transport in several parts of Denmark remained under pressure Friday as transport companies struggled with a shortage of vehicles for the third day in a row.

Midttrafik and Sydtrafik said the shortage was causing longer waits and forcing passengers to book at least two hours before travel. The operators said they would prioritize important journeys, including trips to hospitals.

Sydtrafik also asked passengers to consider postponing disability transport or other flex trips if possible. Flex transport operates as part of public transit on routes without regular bus, train or metro service, with passengers booking a departure time instead of following a fixed schedule.

The transport companies first reported vehicle shortages on Wednesday. TV 2 Fyn reported that the Odense-based provider LS Busser had halted all services for FynBus, Sydtrafik and Midttrafik. The company said in a press release that its operating capital had been seized.

Consider whether your trip with disability transport or flex travel can wait until another day.
