Departures during Christmas 2023

We are experiencing a high demand for departures leading up to Christmas. Therefore, we recommend that you purchase your ticket as early as possible, so you can catch the departure that suits you best.

To ensure even more people can get home for Christmas, we have set up several extra departures on certain lines leading up to the Christmas weekend. There will also be extra departures on Monday 1 January and Tuesday 2 January.

From Sunday 24 December to Monday 25 December, there will be fewer departures on most lines. If you are travelling by bus during this period, it’s a good idea to book your ticket now.

Use the journey planner at the top of the page or in the Vy app to see departures and purchase tickets.

Flexible travel during Christmas

You can change your ticket up to one hour before departure time. If you also buy a fully flexible ticket, there is no change fee. Handy if the Christmas holiday should stretch a little longer.

Purchase your ticket in advance

Most stops are only served if you have purchased a ticket in advance. With a pre-purchased ticket, you are guaranteed a seat and you also have the opportunity to reserve a seat of choice.
