Utrecht, The Netherlands, 4th of February 2009
An English-language public transport journey planner has been released as part of a major overhaul of the high-volume web site for all public transport in The Netherlands, www.9292ov.nl.
With this door-to-door journey planner tourists and business travellers can prepare their trips and find their way in The Netherlands via all means of public transport. Last year, 9292 (REISinformatiegroep B.V.), a joint initiative from all public transport companies, published almost 92 Million travel itineraries and is still growing rapidly.
The English journey planner is accessible through a simple British banner placed on the top edge of the Dutch homepage. The English journey planner can also directly be accessed through http://journeyplanner.9292.nl. The site now offers door-to-door travel itineraries with all means of public transport in The Netherlands. The site will be in the future extended with price information, information on train and bus stations, alert functions, and actual information.
The national service number for the Dutch public transport 0900-9292 (70 cents per minute) has been hard to access for visitors from abroad. All too often establishing the international telephone connection with an 0900 number was the stumbling block for establishing a connection. This was equally difficult for fixed incoming telephone lines from abroad, as well as calling with a mobile phone with a foreign telecom provider. The English 9292-site now offers a great solution for tourists and business visitors alike.
9292’s public transport Telephone operators can help in the future, by introducing a new servicenumber for foreign visitors find their way through the Dutch public transport system (including a selection of international connections that run through Dutch territory). This special servicenumber will soon be published.
