The Swedish government passed a new law that will enter into force the 4th of January 2016.
All operators of trains, buses and ferries (20 nautical miles or less) over the Swedish border must check the ID:s of ALL passengers. Failing to perform this check can result in a fine for the operator.
SJ AB, the biggest operator, have chosen to cancel all trains over the danish border and from the 4th january all SJ trains will terminate in Malmö.
This is because checking all the passengers before the train arrives in Sweden is impossible and checking before departure from Copenhagen and Kastrup (Airport) will delay trains, and will also cost a lot of money.
Passengers to Copenhagen have to use Öresundståg instead, but there will be fewer departures over the border for these trains as well.
The law do not apply to trains, buses and ferries coming from Norway.
The danish prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen are critical to the decision and says it might hamper development and the prosperity of the Öresund region and cause job losses.
Many people today live in Malmö and works in Denmark (or vice versa) and this have been possible not only because of EU but also because of the Nordic Passport Union from 1954. The opening of the Öresund bridge made Copenhagen and Malmö to a region, and Skånetrafiken tickets over the bridge could be used for travel in the whole region. From 4th January, people working in Denmark will have to get used to showing their ID when going to and from work, and that their journey will be longer.
