Are you going out by train next weekend? Then we have 5 tips for you that will help you to travel as responsibly, relaxed and economically as possible.
Traveling with the NS app
Have you planned a day at Keukenhof, or do you want to visit the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam? If you travel by train, you can easily plan it with the NS app. The NS app is full of useful functions. For example, did you know that you can travel door-to-door with the app? That you can see where the shops and public transport bicycles are at your arrival station? And that you can even see live whether your train or bus is already arriving? Very handy if you want to get a cup of coffee. Also check where you have to get on the train for the best chance of a seat. We give you 5 handy tips for a carefree journey.
1. Crowded indicator in the NS app
The Busy indicator in the NS app shows how busy you can expect on the train. This is represented by 1, 2 or 3 figures. A red exclamation mark next to the figures indicates that there is a shorter train than planned. As a result, it may be busier than expected. This way you can see whether a train is less busy earlier or later, so that you travel more pleasantly.
2. Register your journey via the Treinwijzer
If you register your train journey in advance via the Treinwijzer in the app, you will gain more insight into the expected crowds per train. The more travelers register their trip, the more accurate the forecast is. You will also receive a notification if the expected crowds increase. You can then decide for yourself to catch a train later. You can also see how busy the train is per compartment on certain routes.
