Frequently asked questions about the season ticket guide
The season ticket guide offers filters for easy searching based on your situation. It is not necessary to fill in all of the available filters. You can choose to fill in the filters that are most important to you.
The available filters are:
Mode of transport - Check the boxes based on which mode(s) of transport you use.
Age - Some season tickets are for a specific age, such as children or seniors. Therefore, it is useful to indicate your age category to find a suitable season ticket for you.
Region/travel area - Do you travel throughout the Netherlands, in a specific province, or in a specific city? Check the boxes based on your travel habits. This filter can make a big difference in the type of season ticket.
Type of season ticket - Do you want a season ticket with which you always travel for free, or one for a discount during off-peak hours? Check the box in this filter if you already know what you want.
Per month or year - Do you want a season ticket for a month or a year? You may have a preference, which you can indicate in this filter.
The season ticket is on - Would you like to check in and out with your OV-chipkaart, OVpay (debit card), or would you like to travel on account? You may have a preference, which you can indicate in this filter.
Operators - Do you now which operator(s) you travel with the most? Check the box(es) to see season tickets most applicable for you.
Please note – A season ticket is not always more affordable than travelling on balance. See the frequently asked question "Is a season ticket always the most affordable option?" and calculate the cost based on your travel habits.
There are several reasons why this can happen:
Construction work – Sometimes there is unplanned construction work that we are not aware of. That is why it is not included in the travel advice.
Time of planning – You may have planned your trip a few days in advance. Sometimes, the timetable changes shortly before the trip starts, or there might be unplanned construction work. Therefore, always check your route just before departure (at least 1 day in advance). This way, you know for sure that the travel advice is correct.
Timetables vary per day and time – The timetables vary per day and per hour. Have you booked for Tuesday morning at 10:15? Then you cannot assume that the bus will also leave at quarter past the hour in the afternoon (for example, at 14:15), or that the bus will also leave at 10:15 on Sunday. So, always plan your trip for the right time and the right day.
