BIKES
There are municipal bicycles (blue or colorful, with thick construction) which you can use for 20 kroners without any limitations (on the internet you can find a map of the stands for these bicycles. Many of them are already taken, so stands can be empty. Be aware that quality is not perfect.)
There used to be municipal bicycles (blue or colorful, with thick construction) which you could use for 20 kroners without any limitations (on the internet you can find a map of the stands for these bicycles. Many of them are already taken, so stands can be empty. If you manage to find one, be aware that quality is not perfect.) You can also often find abandoned bikes. If it looks quite trashy and is unlocked, you may adopt it. If it has a yellow sticker from the municipality, it has been there long time and soon will be picked up by the police and sold in their auction. Danes have a natural bike-sharing eco-system going on, especially after a night out.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
 You can buy tickets for busse busses & letbanen in Aarhus area using phone app Midtraffic. For train - DSB app.
In Aarhus (and the rest of Denmark) you can use the app/homepage "rejseplanen", which shows you the easiest and fastest way to use the public transportation. Google Maps works just fine too.
In Blue regional busses you enter at the driver and show\buy a ticket.Yellow busses, trains and Letbanen you can enter freely with a risk of 750dkk (100eur) fine. In Blue regional busses you enter at the driver and show\buy a ticket (you can try to walk past by showing an expired ticket). Control is not so frequent, and mainly happens downtown (klostertorv-park alle route). They wear black clothes with Securitas 3 red dots logo, and have small machines on their waist.
You can avoid the fine if you don't show reveal your real identity and formal information to Control officers (say you only have a (foreign!) bank card instead). Even if you did, the fine might not arrive outside of Denmark, especially outside Europe.
