Subway and Elevated Trains

Three trains per hour in each direction use the Øresund Bridge, increasing to six trains per hour during the rush hour, each train consisting of up to three sets coupled together, creating 237-metre-long trains each with 588 seats, providing a capacity of 1764 (3528) seats per hour. Increasingly this has turned out to be insufficient, and people have to stand during rush hours (into Copenhagen in the morning and Malmö in the afternoon).
