Local bus (buurtbus)

The local bus — in Dutch: buurtbus — is a smaller bus for 8 people that runs a fixed route according to a fixed timetable. The drivers are volunteers. You can buy a ticket from the driver with a debit or credit card. You can also travel with an OV-chipkaart. Subscriptions and the OV-studentenkaart are also valid in the local bus.

Just like the regular bus, the local buses run past a number of bus stops according to a fixed timetable.

A few important differences are:

  • It is a smaller bus with room for up to 8 people.​
  • Wheelchair users cannot travel on local buses. The drivers of the local buses are volunteers and not trained to transport wheelchair users. Wheelchair users can travel with the regular bus lines or the WMO transport via the municipality.
  • A stroller can be taken on board a local bus. Please note the following: the stroller must be fastened and your baby must be transported in a maxicosi that you have to bring with you.
  • For children, every local bus has one booster seat on board.
