There are also lots of bus lines that are operated in Eindhoven. Many of these lines serve the main station or nearby bus stops from which you can reach the conference venue within a less than 10 minutes walk. The bus lines are operated by Hermes and tickets can be bought directly from the bus driver. Buses only accept payment by debit or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or American Express).

This electronic card can be used throughout the whole country for public transport and offers reduced fares in comparison with buying tickets directly on the bus.
