Bus travel

Many busses in the regions of Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland are operated by the QBUZZ company. To check bus schedules, visit the QBUZZ website (only in Dutch).

A ticket can be purchased in the bus but it is preferred, and less expensive, to use an OV-chipkaart. All information about the OV-chipkaart is available online, also in English. You can also use your bank card (OV Pay) to check in and out when travelling with public transport.

The ticket price or the number of credits taken from the OV-chipkaart depends on the number of zones and distance through which you travel. If you buy a ticket directly in the bus, tell the driver your final destination and you will get one ticket that will be valid for the whole trip and will allow you to change busses (overstappen) without paying extra. There are also personal monthly bus passes available. You can only pay the ticket with a credit or debit card in the our buses. Children aged 3 and under travel for free with an adult (max 3 children per paying adult). More information about traveling with QBUZZ in english.
