Get in

[edit]

The large city of Rotterdam is the most convenient starting point, as it lies just outside of this region and has connections to all the main destinations in it. Rotterdam is in turn well serviced by buses, train and even by air. Of the cities listed in this articles, Spijkenisse is the largest one, with ample connections to the other towns.

Get around

[edit]

EBS operates local buses in Brielle and Spijkenisse, the latter of which is connected to public transit services from RET. The rest of the local buses in the area are operated by Connexxion
