What is Nordjyllands Trafikselskab?
NT is a transport company that makes sure people can get around easily in the North Denmark Region. This region is in the northern part of Denmark. NT plans and manages many different ways to travel.
How NT Started and What It Does
NT was created in 2007. This happened because of a big change in how Denmark's local governments were set up. Before 2007, there was a different transport company. NT took over its jobs and even kept the same name.
The main job of NT is to manage bus services. It also handles public taxi services in the North Denmark Region. This means they make sure buses run on time and that taxis are available when needed.
How NT Manages Transport
NT plans the routes for different types of buses. These include regional buses that travel between several towns. They also plan city buses that stay within one city. NT also works with Nordjyske Jernbaner, which is a railway company.
Who Operates the Buses?
Even though NT plans the routes, they don't own all the buses or hire all the drivers directly. Instead, they work with private companies. These companies are called "entrepreneurs." They are hired to operate the buses. For example, in the city of Aalborg, companies like Arriva and City-Trafik run the buses.
NT's Connections with Other Companies
NT also has a part ownership in other important transport companies. They own shares in Nordjyske Jernbaner, the railway company. They also own shares in Rejseplanen A/S and Rejsekortet A/S. Rejseplanen is a system that helps you plan your journey. Rejsekortet is a special travel card used for public transport in Denmark.
