Our flexible school bus service at The British School in The Netherlands will pick up your child before the start of school and drop your child home at the end of the day.
Up to 300 of our students use our flexible bus service daily, divided over 40 buses. Our logistic partners are experienced with student transportation for international businesses. All minibuses have track-and-trace devices, which allows Achttax to follow the vehicle(s).
The coach/minibus services operate in Den Haag, Leidschendam, Rijswijk, Voorschoten and Wassenaar.
Please note that the bus service is not offered to Foundation 1 students. Foundation 2 students may use the buses after the autumn half-term break.
Bus Fees 2024-2025
The fees depend on the type of bus service your child will be using. The minimum registration is one term. Fees that are paid for transportation cover the costs made. No profit is made, so we can keep the cost as low as possible.
Bus fees are subject to change, and the BSN reserves the right to vary the price of the bus service.
