Approach to Fares
•
•
•
•
•
•
Regional and suburban rail:
- Station distances converted to “price units” and fares based on total price units incurred
Rapid transit and local transit:
- Fare structure depends on fare product used
- Single trips calculated using a base fare plus distance travelled fare
- Multi-operator fare products use sub-municipal fare zones spanning the entire province of
North Holland
- Single-operator fare products cover entire service provider area
No Peak or Time-of-Day Pricing
Fare zones are roughly equal-sized, approximately 5 km in each direction
Fare zones are sub-municipal, with approximately 4 zones for Amsterdam and 1 or 2 zones for other
towns
Fare zones boundaries often use barriers separating neighbourhoods or districts, such as
watercourses, highways, and green corridors
How do customers pay?
•
•
•
•
•
Single-operator fare products available covering all services by that service provider
- GVB products cover all of Amsterdam and adjacent suburbs
Multi-operator products (excluding regional rail) available using fare zones
- Customer chooses central zone and “star value”, representing the number of zones from the
central zone
Single-trip travel uses base fare plus km-based fare deducted from balance
Zone-based product prices are consistent across region (e.g., two-zone products cost the same
regardless of zones)
OV-chipkaart is an electronic fare card used across the Netherlands and is the only form of ticketing used
How do customers transfer?
•
•
•
Transfer on GVB within 35 minutes considered as a continuous trip
Transfers valid between GVB and surrounding local providers for some fare products
No reduction in fare for transfers between NS and GVB

Regional Characteristics
•
•
•
•
•
Population – ~11,000,000 (full region)
GDP: US$465.2 billion
Region has several core cities (Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Essen, Duisberg) and numerous surrounding smaller cities and towns
VRR and VRS are associations of transport operators serving municipalities within the Rhine-Ruhr
area: VRR covers the northern part of the region and serves most of the population, VRS covers the
southern part of the region
DB Bahn AG operates regional rail services and also provides regional and intercity services
throughout Germany
Types of Transit
•
•
•
Regional rail connects
with suburban rail at many
Regional Rail
stations
(all-day/peak)
Suburban rail is the
backbone of the regional
structure, connecting
the different cities in the
region
Separated ROW
Suburban rail fully
integrated with rapid
transit in each city, which
is integrated with local
transit; functions as one
network

Approach to Fares
•
•
•
•
•
•
VRR and VRS each have their own fare structures serving their geographic jurisdictions, though they
are similar
Each fare structure divided into grid of zones
Both VRR and VRS fare products are both accepted where boundary overlaps
Some fare products offer reduced-fare travel after 9 AM
Both fare structures divided into zones based on municipal boundaries; some large municipalities are
divided into multiple zones and some small municipalities are grouped into 1 zone
Zones are approximately 10-12 km in each direction
How do customers pay?
•
•
•
•
•
•
In both fare structures, fare products are tied to a specific zone and are grouped into five price levels
Lowest price level buys access to only 1 zone, increasing the price level buys access to an increasing
radius from the home zone; highest price level buys access to entire VRR or VRS area
Prices are generally consistent across region, though one-zone products are tiered based on transit
availability in that zone (zones for large cities cost more because they have more extensive transit
networks)
Less-expensive short-journey tickets available for short trips
Paper/plastic tickets
No electronic fare card used, though tickets can be purchased and stored on phones
How do customers transfer?
•
•
•
Single tickets valid for one trip only with time-based transfers allowed (round trips not permitted)
Transfers unlimited for period products (within zones of validity)
Within VRR–VRS overlap, validity of fare products from one region extends into the other
