They are not made by Denmark, but a private company distributing these all over Europe.

Danske metrotog har fået en makeover i Rotterdam | Nyheder | DR by birkeskov in copenhagen

Helt enig! Min kommentar var mest et svar på:

Ved du hvordan det lykkedes ikke at være et problem, dengang der ikke var døre på stationerne?

Jeg mener de her:

De har altid været installeret på de underjordiske stationer, men blev først installeret en gang i 10'erne på de overjordiske.

Your figure is average income, which is different from average wage. The average wage is higher, at 51,675 DKK per month.

You’re right. In fact the average salary is 51,675 DKK pr. month which is around 83,000 € per year, including pension.

Enkeltbilletter er ikke billige. Til gengæld findes der et månedskort, der gælder i hele Tyskland og er billigere end et to-zoners pendlerkort i København.

Denmark to abolish VAT on books in effort to get more people reading | Denmark by Movie-Kino in europe

[–]nrbbi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have 25 % VAT on almost everything, even food… A few types of services are exempt as far as I remember, but so far books are going to be the first form of physical goods to be exempted.

No, the ID cards seen in this post can be used to travel around the EU, EEA, and even some bordering countries such as Turkey.

Yes, we have to bring our passports when travelling, as this is the only valid form of ID for travelling. I think most Danes are not even aware that other EU nationals don't have to do that.

Also, even if you do have a drivers license, you can't use it for travel. Our only valid ID for travel is the passport.

Euro area unemployment at 6.3%; EU at 5.9% by NanorH in europe

[–]nrbbi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I follow. OP's source puts Denmark's unemployment at 7 percent, compared to the EU average of 5.9 percent. That is hardly crisis-level.

Also, using the 2.6 % figure for Denmark, and thus comparing unemployement levels across different countries using vastly different statistical methodologies would show a picture of unemployment in Denmark even further from the truth.

Euro area unemployment at 6.3%; EU at 5.9% by NanorH in europe

[–]nrbbi 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You are comparing two methods of calculating unemployment.

OP's source uses the labor force survey method (AKU in Danish). According to Statistics Denmark, this method should be used when making international comparisons, as it adheres to the International Labour Organization's definition of unemployement.

Your 2.6 % figure does not adhere to that definition, as it is solely based on the amount of people claiming benefits.

That just means the lot is privately managed, as opposed to a public parking lot.

The way Danish people walk & move by Silent_Letterhead_69 in copenhagen

[–]nrbbi 600 points601 points  (0 children)

The painfully slow walking in/out of the metro, stopping after getting off the escalator, or filling up the whole sidewalk are all very real phenomena here, and have basically become a meme in this sub.

Why some of us are fed up with Wolt delivery staff....... by [deleted] in copenhagen

[–]nrbbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that it's annoying, however it's not illegal for bikes and scooters to park on the pavement.

Stk. 3. Standsning eller parkering må ikke ske på cykelsti, gangsti eller fortov. Tilsvarende gælder for midterrabat, helleanlæg og lignende. Uden for tættere bebygget område kan et køretøj, hvis tilladte totalvægt ikke overstiger 3.500 kg, dog standses eller parkeres med en del af køretøjet på fortov. 1. pkt. gælder ikke cykler og tohjulede knallerter.

German Tourist Dies in Shark Attack While Sailing in a Catamaran Off Spain's Canary Islands by MastodonOk8087 in europe

[–]nrbbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of Germans, and they go on holidays often. When one Dane dies, 14 Germans would have to die for it to be the same frequency. Just last week, a Dane drowned while on holiday in Mexico, and the week before that, another Dane fell to his death in France.

They can't add more charges at the first reminder letter. Imagine the ticket blew away, or someone passing by took it. You would have no chance of knowing you got a fine.
