Public transport card with discount for international students
RUG Groningen and ISIC have arranged a
special public transport card
with discount for international students.
In the Netherlands you need an OV-chipkaart to travel around with the train, bus, metro and tram. There are two possibilities
:
-
An anonymous card without any discount
-
A personal card, where you need a Dutch debit card and the buying process is written in Dutch
Both options are not ideal for international students. That is why ISIC created the ISIC/OV-chipkaart, a custom-made card for international students. Buy the basic card for €15,- (including the ISIC card) and sign-up (optional) for services and discount created for international students for a small monthly fee:
-
15% discount during off-peak hours on national railway (NS)
-
A digital ISIC card, with the best discounts in the Netherlands and the rest of the world
-
Customized application process for international students
-
Automatic top-up option (no more topping op of balance)
-
Travel data, customer service etc in ISIC mobility app
- Public transport bike (OV-fiets) and storage
You need to sign-up for your card
here
, which includes the public transport card + the digital ISIC card. After confirmation you will be able to pick-up your card during the introduction on the 29 of August at the RUG Groningen.
Enjoy your stay in the Netherlands!
