Public transport
In general, public transport in the Netherlands is excellent. There is always a train, tram or bus that takes you to your destination.
Which app to use?
Google Maps works well to show the fastest paths and options.
For trains I use NS's own app: Play Store | Apple Store
How to buy tickets
All the machines have English language options.
TODO_SEND_PR a small picture showing the options. ⚠️
Purchasing the transport card
Apply for personal ov chipkaart
Purchasing a subscription
The price of tickets here is a little high, so it might be worth it to purchase a subscription.
I separated the ones I see people using:
| Type | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 40% discount on weekends and 40% discount outside peak hours. | € 5 / month |
| Free travel on weekends | € 31 / month |
There are more options here: NL Subscriptions.
As a monthly member you can use NS bikes. (See how)
