Why go
Bus travel is most useful when your destination lies beyond the compact centre or away from a metro line. It can complete a route from a station, reach suburban areas and link Rotterdam with parts of the surrounding region. Because several operators may serve the wider area, route numbers and ticket arrangements need checking for the specific service rather than assuming one citywide pattern.
Useful to know
- Confirm the operator, route and current ticket validity for each bus journey.
- Use buses to complete a rail journey rather than assuming every district is walkable from a station.
- Check night and water connections separately; their operating patterns are not the same as daytime buses.
