Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S offers services to public transport users in Denmark. The Customer offers travelers an app Rejseplanen for journey planning, and it has more than 1,4 journey planning suggestions a day. Moreover, the Customer offers the ticketing service Rejsekort. Rejsekort is an electronic ticketing solution that both works as a ticketing and payment solution in one. Rejsekort is based on physical infrastructure enabling travelers to check-in when starting a journey and check-out when completing a journey. Rejsekort uses an e-wallet functionality, thus travelers must ensure sufficient funds on their Rejsekort before the traveler is allowed to check-in.
The Customer currently has 2,2 million unique External End User of the Rejsekort and there are 3,3 million active cards. In 2022 External End Users completed more than 167 million journeys with Rejsekort (Rejsekort Classic and Rejsekort Commuter Combi) which is approximately 462.000 journeys each day. The Customer thus have a yearly turnover of approximately 3,4 billion DKK. In 2022 more than 17 million transactions were completed enabling External End Users to top-up money on their Rejsekort allowing them to check-in for travelling.  The Customer is currently working on introducing a digital PAYG solution where External End Users can use their smartphone to access and buy a valid travel permit for public transport nationwide in Denmark. The digital PAYG solution will not be based on e-wallet functionality but will be an actual PAYG solution where payments are processed after the External End User has travelled. The PAYG solution will handle the travel - and price calculations for the External End Users' journeys and send payment requests to the Solution. The PAYG solution is planned to be released in 2024.
The Customer estimates a potential of more than 2 mio. External End Users when the PAYG solution is fully implemented over the course of 3 years. The External End Users travel 4,3-4,5, on average, each month. When an External End User starts one journey, they travel 1,66 journeys on that exact day.
The Customer expects that many journeys will be completed with the digital PAYG solution, and thus many transactions will be completed. The number of transactions is increasing over time as more External End Users will be on-boarded to the PAYG solution, and thus increasing the number of travels and transactions.
