Studentenreisproduct
The Studentenreisproduct is a form of free public transport for students in the Netherlands. Introduced in 1991, the system is a solution for students who do not live near their university or college. The central government intends for this to stimulate teenagers in the development of their education.
Studentenreisproduct is loaded as a product on the OV-chipkaart, a contactless travel card.
Students can choose either free transport on weekdays and a 40% discount on the weekend, or vice versa.[1]
