Travellers who are 65 years or older can buy many travel subscriptions and discount cards at an extra advantageous price.
With these subscriptions, you must be 65 years of age or older when you purchase the subscription. If you are about to turn 65, we recommend you purchase the product after your birthday. Otherwise, you will not get the discount.
Age discount
Are you 65 years of age or older? Then you are entitled to a 34% discount when travelling by bus. This discount is valid all day.What do you need to do?
You can travel with age discount if you use a personal OV-chipkaart or if you check in and out with your debit card (OVpay).Your date of birth is on your personal OV-chipkaart. The card then automatically calculates your age discount when you check in and out. Apart from checking in and out, you do not have to do anything else.
If you travel with your debit card, you will have to activate it first. Read more about OVpay's age discount.
