Comment

Copenhagen Tramways and local Bus companies were combined to form Hovedstadens Trafikselskab HT.
There exists also an Additional zone fare token "TILLÆGSPOLET" with a large T.
The Company started operations in 1975. The Tokens were used in the period 1975 -1979. The Company stopped operations in 2000.
The price for the last tokens 1978/79 was 12 kr for 8 Grundpolleter and 9 kr for 12 Tillægspoletter.
There is a Danish Tramway Museum at Skjoldenæsholm Denmark.
