I am an international student but don’t qualify for the student OV chipkaart. Is there any other way to travel cheaper?

If you don’t qualify for the student OV chipkaart, there are still several options to get discount on your travels:

  • Dutch Railways (NS) offers several kind of discount options if you are travelling by train on a regular basis. They offer a tool that helps you to decide which option fits your needs.
  • If you travel mainly by bus, tram or metro, this tool can help you to decide which kind of ticket fits your needs.
  • Studentmobility.nl  offers a mobility package that gives you discount on public transport.
