Ingerslevsgade

Ingerslevsgade is a street in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It begins on the rear side of Copenhagen Central Station and follows the northwest side of the railway tracks to Enghave station. It also passes the Dybbølsbro station where Dybbøl Bridge connects it to Kalvebod Brygge and Havneholmen, Copenhagen on the other side of the railway tracks. The street is named after the politician Hans Peter Ingerslev, who was involved in the construction of the Free Port of Copenhagen.

Long-distance buses

Most national and international buses that run through Copenhagen have their main stop in Copenhagen at Ingerslevsgade, adjacent to the DGI-byen complex[1] near Copenhagen Central Station. These include buses for Nettbuss express, Swebus Express and Eurolines.[2] The street has no proper facilities for a bus station, just a few simple rain and wind shelters. Passengers board the buses from the bicycle path.

The bus area is located near track 12 of the Central Station (west side), just south of the Tietgensgade bridge which goes over the tracks.

gollark: I am not in any way selling or assisting in selling pizza and I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of advertising involving me. I'm DEFINITELY not paid by pizza companies to do ANY pizza advertising or sales.
