Throughout 2024 and 2025, children up to and including 11 years old travel for free with an adult.
This applies to all Syntus Utrecht buses and U-OV buses and trams. That's right, you heard it right! So gather all your friends, get the family together and discover the beautiful places, the cozy cities and the hidden treasures that our province has to offer. This makes traveling by public transport even more fun and cheaper!
Please note: if no adult is traveling, children aged 4 to 11 do not travel for free. Or is your child older than 11 or are you travelling with more than 3 children? Then you can:
- Have a child/your children check in on a 2nd, 3rd … (digital) debit card/credit card. Your plastic debit card is seen as a different card than the one on your mobile or smartwatch. So you can travel on your plastic debit card while your child travels on a different debit card or the debit card on your mobile.
- Buy an e-ticket for your child/children in advance in, for example, the 9292 or Tranzer app.
- Buy tickets in advance in our service shop in Amersfoort, the U-OV service shop in Utrecht and at the U-OV tram stops.
- Buy a public transport chip card for your child (see here where to buy them): Service point finder - OV-chipkaart.nl
