You share the taxi with others and therefore travel at a reduced rate. You can purchase your ticket at the railway station (EUR 4,10) or from the taxi driver (EUR 5,00) TRAIN TAXI AREA Treintaxi serves a certain area, which is shown at the Treintaxi stand at the station. Tickets can be used in every city where Treintaxi is available (59 cities throughout The Netherlands). A separate ticket must be purchased for the return trip. The exact geographic regions covered by Treintaxi services are determined per town. This frequently includes both the town center and the surrounding areas. HOW TO GET A TRAIN TAXI The treintaxi stand can be recognized easily. It is separately located from the normal taxi stand and is designed in blue and yellow (the colors of the Netherlands Railways). If you wish to get a treintaxi, go to the stand and report yourself at the driver. Or you push the blue button at the stand to contact the Treintaxi operator. The driver waits for a maximum of 15 minutes for other possible passengers to share this Treintaxi, determines an efficient route and brings the passengers to their destinations. TRIPS TO THE RAILWAY STATION For the return trip to the railway station, you call the Treintaxi Callcenter at least half an hour before you wish the driver to come and pick you up. The telephone number is 0900-TREINTAXI (0900 873 46 82) the costs are EUR 0,35 per minute. Please note that this number can only be dialed within the Netherlands. |
