Transportation
Trains
The
Nederlandse Spoorwegen (www.ns.nl) is the national train company. NS offers
season tickets and discounts for off-peak travel (Voordeelurenabonnement)
including a kortingskaart (‘discount card’) which takes 40% off the price of
tickets, not only for you but for up to three other people travelling with you.
This only costs € 55 a year, and it has an OV-chipkaart built in. To find out
the best deal for you, visit an NS counter and talk to any representative.
Tickets are checked regularly and fines are about a minimum of € 40. You save
50 eurocents through purchasing your train ticket from the ticket machines
(also in English) rather than at the counter. You can also buy day tickets in
supermarkets that you can travel through the country for €13.99.
Post
Office
Post
offices have orange signs marked ‘Postkantoor’. Most of the post offices are
situated in small shops where you buy cards, tobacco, magazines etc.
