Why are there plastic bags at the back of seats on Copenhagen local trains?
10
While travelling on the local Copenhagen train system, I was curious to find plastic bags at the back of each seat.
Why are these kept there / what purpose are they supposed to be used for?

Trash. It is the typical way of doing it in all Danish trains (except the S-tog). There are also actual trash cans in the lobbies around the doors.

Firstly, that's not a local train - it's the international train that links Denmark and Sweden.
To answer your question: I asked about this when I was travelling on the Øresundståg a couple of years ago as I wanted somewhere to put trash. The train manager told me I can use it for "whatever I want" and that the bags are there as a convenience for customers and to help reduce the amount of trash left openly on the train.

The same trains operate local services between Elsinore, Copenhagen and the airport (only some of which continue towards Sweden).

Didn't know this was the international train! I was going to Humblaek. Also the weird thing is there ARE bins on the train near carriage exits, so I'd have expected littering to be less of an issue.

Even with bins, people sadly love to leave their rubbish wherever is most convenient for them.

It is a local train by designation as opposed to long-distance or high-speed trains such as the X2000. Apart from the cross-border Malmö–Kopenhagen bit, they perform regional train duties far into Sweden with a significant number of passengers (if not the overwhelming majority) not crossing any border. Also, bahn.de gives the train numbers a preceding R for regional i.e. local.

Øresundståg are regional trains around Øresund (the strait north of Copenhagen/Malmø). The area just happens to be in two countries.
