- All OV-chipkaart products that are valid in our regular bus also apply to the local bus. The free travel and discount products are therefore also valid on the local bus lines. The discount is calculated on the normal kilometer rate. The boarding rate is calculated the age discount is also applied. View here the current kilometer rate and boarding rate.
- 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 fixed rate of € 2.05 applies. Traveling on balance gives transfer rights when transferring from a local bus line to a regular line, i.e. no boarding fee is charged for the second journey.
- 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 of the fixed rate of € 2.05 for this ride.
