OV- chipkaart

Travelling with an OV-chipkaart and Waterbus

If you have an OV-chipcard, you can also use it to travel on Waterbus. Always make sure your card has sufficient balance (at least €4). Before boarding, check in at the reader on the waterbus. When you disembark, check out again at the reader on the waterbus.

Travelling with an OV-chipcard is the most affordable way for individual passengers to travel. If you don’t have an OV-chipcard, you can purchase an e-ticket from our webshop and enjoy a carefree journey.

Checking in with OV-chipkaart is possible on all waterbus stops. Using an OV-chipkaart is the cheapest way of travelling for all individual passengers.

  • Checking in before getting on board. Check in before topping up your card.
  • Checking out after each journey makes sure the price you are charged per tour is correct. When you transfer to another Waterbus or another means of public transport you need to check out at the previous one and consequently check in at the next one. If you have forgotten to check out, go to www.uitcheckgemist.nl where you can apply for a quick credit refund.
  • If you have further questions or if you want to see an instructional video, go to www.uitlegovchipkaar.nl. At this website, instructional videos on how to top up your balance or collect your bookings are shown.
