Traveling Just Outside Rush Hour? NS Offers Cheaper Train Tickets
From 2026-08-25, Dutch railway company NS offers cheaper train tickets for travelers who ride just outside peak hours, expanding its existing PrijsTijd Deals. Previously, discounts applied during off-peak hours (09:00-16:00), but now include the edges of rush hour. Tickets must be purchased a day in advance. NS aims to reduce overcrowding, especially during 'hyperspits' on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Discounts average 30% during these times. NS research shows one in five travelers is willing to adjust travel for a discount.
