Ascension Day: pay attention when using public transport student card

Are you a student travelling by public transport on Wednesday or Thursday? Take note, because Thursday is Ascension Day. Students with a weekend pass (ov-kaart in Dutch, public transport card for students) can then travel for free, while students with a weekly pass only get a discount. The Wednesday before is also different (in Dutch).

Also good to know: with a weekend pass you can travel for free as early as 12 noon on Wednesday (and of course you can also travel all Wednesday with a week pass).

The Friday after Ascension Day is a normal Friday, even though many people take time off and it is also the May holiday. Students can travel that day as in normal weeks: free all day with a weekly pass and free from 12 noon onwards with a weekend pass.
