Hi Folks,

I am working professional looking to buy any monthly or annual pass to travel to company.

Is there any cheap travel pass either monthly or annual basis ?

Is there any travel pass for which I can travel whole netherlands by bus, train,tram or metro ?

One of my friend told me that there is one card worth 400 euro which allow to travel in whole netherlands by any public transport, is the card exist ?

Cheers

I can't help you with the €400 pass; I haven't heard of it but if your friend has, ask him for more details.

If you will be living/working in Amsterdam/Rotterdam, you will need an OV-card to travel on the metro: More details here. You can charge these using your bank/pin card at the machines on buses or at stations, automatically through your bank, or you can charge them using cash at a Post Office.

Otherwise, you can buy either a strippenkaart which the bus driver will stamp, or you can buy a monthly travel pass from the Post Office which allows you only to travel in your chosen travel zones; more information here - these are valid on trams, metro, and buses.

As far as I know, there are no combined travel cards that include Rail travel and I guess if there was, then it would cost much more than €400 as rail travel is more expensive.

Hi Nitin,

There is a monthly pass which is around 405 euros for the whole MONTH. It covers you for travel anywhere in Holland. This also includes Bus, Metro and the Tram.. For the Metro, you are given an OV Card which is valid for one month.


Hope this helps

Hi Nitin,

The monthly unlimited pass within whole netherlands is called NetworkPass.
You can buy the pass from the ticket service counters of NS or even from the automatic ticket vending machines.

The train ticket for whole netherlands alone costs € 347 and including all public transportation (bus,tram and metro) within netherlands € 416 .

Monthly train pass can also be bought only for specific route for lesser price (eg. Amsterdam to Utrecht) and by paying extra € 29 you can get a public transport supplement which enables you to travel unlimited in all public transportation in 1 zone in both source and destination stations.

Hope these details gives you better vision.

P.S.
Check the www.ns.nl for complete fare details. When you check the train timing and fare for a trip in www.ns.nl site, click 'Show more fare information' link in the result page to get more details on the different fares like monthly pass, weekly ticket, weekend tickets etc.
