Travel easily and unlimitedly with the OV chip card

When exploring Scheveningen and its surroundings, the OV-chip card is your best friend. With this card, you can easily travel by tram or bus throughout The Hague. For visitors, there are handy one-time hourly tickets or day tickets (for one to seven days) available. You can easily buy hourly tickets from the conductor or driver, while day tickets are available in advance and allow you to travel unlimitedly within the chosen time frame. Please note: you cannot buy day tickets on the bus, so plan your trip wisely!

Cash? No need!

The Hague is well on its way to making public transport completely cashless. As of 8 December 2017, you can only pay with a bank card on most bus routes. This means faster boarding and disembarking and you don't have to worry about loose change.
