Starting today, children in Denmark have the opportunity to utilize a physical travel card known as Basiskort, which serves as an alternative to the Rejsekort app. This initiative, announced by Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S, aims to provide a solution for families who prefer to limit their children's smartphone use when traveling. According to Jens Willars, the customer director at Rejsekort & Rejseplan A/S, this option enables children to travel without the need for a smartphone, giving parents control over when their children should have access to mobile devices.

The Basiskort is designed specifically for children using public transport, allowing parents to choose a setup that aligns with their family values regarding technology use. This development can be particularly beneficial in promoting independence among young travelers while still ensuring that they have the means to navigate public transport systems effectively. Moreover, it highlights a growing recognition within the transport sector of the needs and preferences of families.

As a noteworthy point, the last day for the usage of the physical Rejsekort is May 28, which suggests a transition period during which families can make adjustments to the new system. This change reflects broader trends in transport services adapting to the demands of different demographic groups, specifically targeting younger users by providing them with accessible and practical options for their travel needs.
