You can travel to and on the island of Texel by public transport. On this page we give you more information about bus transport on Texel.
If you want to travel with the Connexxion bus on Texel, you must leave the ferry on the right. From the bus station at the ferry terminal you can travel by bus line 28 to Den Burg (Elemert stop) or De Koog. This bus connects with the usual timetable of the TESO boat but also the so-called intermediate boats.
For all other stops on the island you use the Texelhopper. The Texelhopper vans run from the first to the last ferry. So you can always be transported with Texelhopper from and to every regular ferry. There is also a bus on Texel on the so-called intermediate boats (departure on the hour from Den Helder). There are about 200 recognizable and virtual Texelhopper stops on Texel. An overview of the stops can be found on www.texelhopper.nl
The Texelhopper must be ordered at least half an hour beforehand - via www.texelhopper.nl, the Texelhopper app or by telephone (+31 (0) 222-784000). When making a reservation, you will indicate where your nearest departure point is. Each stop has its own name and a number that can be seen on the stopping posts at the pick-up point. Please state where you want to go at the time of booking.
You simply check in and out with your ov-chip card, contactless debit card, credit card or mobile. If you buy a separate ticket on the Connexxion bus, you pay for it with a debit or credit card from the driver. Children up to 11 years of age travel free on both the regular buses and the Texelhopper bus.
When booking for the Texelhopper buses via www.texelhopper.nl/en or the Texelhopper app, you can pay with credit card. You can also pay in the Texelhopper bus or check in with your ov-chipcard.
