Plustur provides transportation between an address and a hub where you continue your journey via public transport.

Plustur must be booked and paid for through Rejseplanen, at least two hours in advance.

Esbjerg Local Rail offers easy and fast access to transportation in and around Esbjerg.

The Nærbane system connects multiple rail lines operated by GoCollective (Vestbanen) and DSB. With frequent departures and short travel times, the Nærbane is an attractive alternative to driving for commuters, students, and other travelers.

Trains run every 30 minutes on key routes between Varde, Esbjerg, Bramming, and Ribe. Additionally, local services in Esbjerg have improved with the new Nærbane station in Jerne, which opened in December 2020. This station enhances public transport access in eastern Esbjerg and makes it easier to travel around the city.
