Last year lived with an Indian roommate who worked for DSB. Their big push for 2030 is to automate everything through smartphone tracking with the DSB app and facial recognition on train cameras. Their idea is that you won’t need to manually check in or out anymore.

But more importantly, you can circumvent the local yahoos and order it online instead. https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/get-started-with-mitid/how-to-use-mitid/mitid-code-display/#order you will need a valid passport though.
Yeah, I figured it was probably just rude bullshit. But I didn’t know where to take it from there. But good to know.
