    Rotterdam RandstadRail fares
    Lightrail tickets must be purchased before entering the trains. Without the chipcard the entrance gates to the platforms won't open. For public transport in Rotterdam, a wide range of tickets is being offered. The bottom line is that for occasional trips, the so called 'disposable OV-chip card' is the most convenient and cheapest choice. All metro / tram / bus transport in Rotterdam is operated by the 'RET' company. You can choose from the following chip cards: 2 hours RET travel (€3,50), 2 metro journeys (€5,00) and 1, 2 or 3 full days RET (€7,00, €10,50, €14,00). However, if you consider one of the full day tickets and wish to visit some museums or attractions, the Rotterdam Welcome Card would be the best choise! Day tickets only entitle the holder to travel till stop Pijnacker Zuid on the dark blue line E, by the way. Detailed information on the public transport tickets at the OV-Chipkaart page.
