Can you easily get between Rotterdam Central Station and Rotterdam The Hague Airport by public transport?
In the past when I've gone to Rotterdam, it has either been by train, or from the port, which we've got questions covering. This time, having snagged a very good deal, I'll be flying into Rotterdam The Hague Airport, which is a first for me.
Is it easy to get from the airport to near Rotterdam Central Station by public transport, or would it involve walking/changes/taxis/etc.? And if it is possible by public transport, is it for normal local prices, or does it end up requiring special expensive tickets for the journey?
Best Answer
The website of Rotterdam-The Hague airport is pretty clear. According to the timetable, bus 33 is leaving every 20 minutes from the airport, to bring you to the central station in just over 20 minutes.
According to the most general Dutch website on public transport, you'll pay €1.66 for a one-way trip if you use the OV-card. The public transport section of the airport website states that this card can be bought from a shop named "Ako". It will cost you €7.50 for the card only, and you have to charge it with a minimum of €5 before you can use it. Alternatively you can buy a paper one-way ticket from the driver for €3, according to this website.
