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. It is a small bus with room of up to 8 people. For saftey reasons, passengers are not allowed to stand in this bus.
