Bike on the bus and tram: what can you bring?
Do you want to take a bike on the bus, or are you travelling with a pet, stroller, scooter or mobility aid? Some items can come with you, but there are rules.
Check below what you can bring on U-OV buses and trams.
Can I take a bike on the bus?
You cannot take a regular bike on a U-OV bus or tram. You also cannot take a folding bike if it is not folded.
Folding bike on the bus
You can take a folded, non-electric folding bike on the bus or tram.
Please note: if it is very busy, the driver may decide that it is not safe to take your folding bike on board.
Pets on the bus and tram
Pets can travel for free on U-OV buses and trams as long as they do not disturb other passengers.
You do not need to buy a separate ticket for your pet.
Can I take a scooter on the bus?
You can take a non-electric scooter on the bus or tram outside rush hour.
Fold the scooter if you can and keep it safely next to you. If it is busy, the driver decides whether it is safe to take the scooter on board.
Strollers on the bus and tram
You can take a stroller on the bus or tram. Use the wheelchair space and secure the stroller with the straps. We recommend holding your child on your lap.
Does a passenger in a wheelchair need the space? Fold your stroller and keep the aisle clear.
Wheelchairs on the bus and tram
Each bus has space for one wheelchair. Use the button near the second door to let the driver know you want to get on. The driver can help you with the ramp and boarding.
Use the seat belt during your journey.
Do you use an electric wheelchair? We recommend facing backwards in the wheelchair space. Our trams are also wheelchair accessible.
Mobility scooters on the bus and tram
You cannot take a regular mobility scooter on a U-OV bus because it cannot be secured safely.
You can take a foldable mobility scooter on the bus if:
- you can get on by yourself or with help from another passenger;
- the folded mobility scooter fits in the wheelchair space;
- you use the safety belt.
You can use the ramp or lift to get on.
Regular mobility scooters can travel on U-OV trams.
Walking aids on the bus
You can take a walking aid if it is no larger than 120 x 70 x 109 cm. It must have a brake and you must be able to secure it safely. The driver decides whether it can travel safely.
