Movia was created on January 1, 2007, as part of the 2007 municipal reform. Its predecessors were the county transit agencies of the old Vestsjællands Amt and Storstrøms Amt, and HUR Trafik which covered the old "capital region" consisting of Roskilde Amt, Frederiksborg Amt, and Københavns Amt (plus the independent municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg). Each of the three agencies had its own integrated fare system, which have been continued by Movia as three distinct "fare areas", with small changes to the existing inter-agency fare rules.

The company is owned by the two regions and by the 45 municipalities it services (not Bornholm).

A new seamless fare system which replaces most paper tickets by contactless smartcard has been implemented. It is fully implemented in the western Zealand (Vestsjælland) and southern Zealand (Sydsjælland) fare areas, and in the capital area (Hovedstadsområdet).

Movia has eleven night bus lines which operate between the hours of 01:00 and 05:00. Buses generally depart on the hour or every second hour. Bus stop signs of night bus routes are recognisable by their grey colour. Various A-bus, S-bus and R-bus lines also have departures at night or have departures at night after Friday and Saturday.
