Ticketing and Covid-19
We have stopped the cash payment on board all means of transport. In order to avoid contact between the driver and passengers, card readers on the regional buses are also unavailable.
We recommend that you use the RuterBillett app to purchase both period tickets and ticket for extra zones.
Remember to buy a ticket before boarding. It's cheaper for you and helps us keep our schedules.
RuterBillett app
Download the RuterBillett app and buy tickets on your mobile. This is the easiest way to buy tickets. You can buy all our tickets with the app, except from the Rufus ticket.

How our onboard surcharge works
Trams and Metro
It is not possible to buy tickets on trams and metro carriages. You must either buy a ticket beforehand or pay with pay-as-you-go credit on board without a surcharge.
If you're travelling from a Metro station with a control zone line, you must scan your travelcard before boarding the train. From stations without a control zone line, you may scan your card on board the Metro.
