Transportation for Waterbus

You can use an OV-chipkaart to pay for your Waterbus journey, just like any other form of public transport in the Netherlands. If you don’t have an OV-chipkaart, you can buy single tickets online or at ticket machines near Waterbus stops.

For tourists planning to travel multiple days, a temporary (‘lease’) OV-chipkaart is a more convenient option. This transport card allows seamless travel across all Dutch public transport, including Waterbus. See: Lease Transport Chip Card
