Hundige station opened along with the extension of the Køge radial from Vallensbæk station to Hundige in 1976: Since then, it has been the terminus of the S-train service A, and a stop on all other lines on the Køge radial.[5] Hundige station is however now only an occasional terminus for service A, since in the daytime on weekdays, every second train in the service continues to Solrød Strand station.
Hundige station is a hub for public transportation in its area; right next to the platforms and tracks, is an array of designated bus stops for each of several bus lines serving the area, a pick-up and drop-off zone for taxis and private vehicles, and a parking lot.
History
Hundige station was inaugurated on 25 September 1976 as the second section of the Køge Bay Line from Vallensbæk to Hundige was completed, and the following day the station opened to regular traffic.[2]
On 30 September 1979, the railway line was continued beyond Hundige, as the third section of the Køge Bay Line from Hundige to Solrød Strand was completed.[2]
