More Reliable Public Transport with Adjusted Timetable

April 15, 2026

As of April 5, we have adjusted the timetable on a number of lines in Utrecht Buiten. From May 3, we are doing the same in Utrecht Binnen. With these adjustments, we are reducing the pressure on our drivers and more available buses. This minimizes the chance of unexpected cancellations and allows us to work step by step towards a reliable and stable timetable you can depend on.

Read more about timetable changes in our previous update: March 31 Update

Utrecht Buiten

Since April 5, we have been operating a temporary adjusted timetable on a number of bus lines in Utrecht Buiten (the municipality of Amersfoort and the western and eastern parts of the province). This ensures that buses run more punctually and are cancelled less often.

We see that this is working: cancellations have dropped from 6% in February to less than 3% last week. We remain committed to improving this even further.

We have enough drivers and buses for this adjusted timetable. Occasionally, a trip may still be canceled on the day due to accidents, sudden driver illness, or heavily delayed buses.

Behind the scenes, we are working hard on further improvements. Together with our partners, we are working hard to get buses that are standing idle due to damage back on the road as quickly as possible. We are also recruiting new drivers. With more drivers and buses, we can gradually run more buses again.

Although the timetable is temporarily adjusted, about 5% more buses run in Utrecht Buiten compared to 2025.

Utrecht Binnen

From May 3rd, we will also adjust some bus lines’ timetables in Utrecht Binnen (Utrecht municipality and nearby municipalities). Plan your trip using the planner on this website or the U-OV app. There you can immediately see what the new schedule means for your trip. Or view all adjusted Line Folders.

From April 16 to May 1, the first trip of line 13 at 5:45 am will run again on weekdays. This trip will depart regularly from Utrecht Central.
