Off-Peak Discount for Young People
Initially, NS speculated about a subscription for young people, with which they could travel cheaply by train more often. Due to Corona, NS has changed its plans because travel behavior would have changed. A subscription form does not fit the current needs, which is why they have now come up with an NS day ticket for young people.
Research into cheap train tickets for young people
In February 2020, NS conducted research into the needs of young people. This showed that they found the train too expensive for a day out and preferred the car over the sustainable train. Furthermore, 71 percent of young people indicated that they would use the train more often with a youth discount card. 57 percent of parents said they would plan a day out with the whole family more often.
To also encourage sustainable travel among young people, NS has launched cheap train tickets for young people. Previously, it was only possible to order the NS Jongerentoer, formerly tienertoer, during holiday periods. Now this is possible all year round from 1 September 2020.
