At check-out, the boarding fare will be refunded and the kilometers traveled and the basic fare will be charged. If you transfer within 35 minutes, you only pay the basic fare once.

  • A Syntus Utrecht Ster abonnement is also valid on local bus lines within the zone area. For the part of the journey outside the zone area, travel is on credit and the fixed fare of € 2.05 applies. The student OV-chipkaart are also valid on the local bus lines. The discount is applied to the normal fare. Outside the period of validity (during peak hours for StudentWeekend) you travel on balance and the normal kilometer rate applies.

  • It is also possible to travel on the local bus with your travel on account product on the OV-chipkaart (such as NS Flex). The ride will then be settled with your monthly invoice, so you do not need to have a balance on your card for this. You will then pay the basic rate + kilometer rate instead.
