In both Landskrona and Copenhagen we have the wonderful opportunity to take advantage of their efficient, user friendly public transportation system. Each day we take advantage of the train that leaves at promptly at 8:22 and usually reach Copenhagen around 9:30. It is an impressive travel time considering the distances we are traveling.
Unfortunately the train´s most ideal arrival times do not always played out. With problems like mechanical difficulties, weather, coordinating tracks with other trains, and the speed at which riders can board, consistency is sometimes difficult to find. As an example, our train leaving Copenhagen central last night was delayed by 20 minutes. The trains were so overloaded that when the last stragglers who attempted to squeeze into the last bit of standing room space began blocking the doors the train was disabled and delayed from leaving for some time.
Today, President Obama will be attending the COP15 meetings. His arrival will shut down the entire system for an unknown amount of time. Our group expects delays and a little hard work from both our group, and the train system, but we will still be heading to Copenhagen to view what sessions we can (round of congratulatory applause!).
