If they're going to make people ride bikes and scooters in traffic, then it should at LEAST be legal to do the Snow Crash thing where you use a hook-shot-style harpoon to catch free rides from cars.

The Danish public transit infrastructure is a joke and there isn't any political will to improve it so it's just unreliable and extremely expensive.
I did have a very confusing time taking a bus out of Copenhagen. I got yelled at by a driver but I didn't understand how to pay (I thought you paid on the bus?) And there was no instruction on how to do it and no one would help. He just let me get on, but he was mad about it, lol.
I figured out how to pay for my trip back though, due to a very kind lady.
If you're ever in Copenhagen again, there are 24, 48 and 72 hour tickets that are a bit more expensive than figuring out the system but worth it for short visits.
Also, there's a variant that gives access to almost all museums and lots of other interesting places.
