There is a special airportbus (I don't know why. The normal service is really fast). |
By Train:
Notes from a
Traveller December 2010: Improved public transport to and from Rotterdam The Hague Airport:
From mid-December 2010, RandstadRail will provide speedy and easy
access to the airport from The Hague, Leidschendam, Pijnacker,
Zoetermeer and Rotterdam Central Station, amongst others. Your journey
with the Airport Shuttle from Meijersplein metrostation to the terminal
takes mere minutes.
To use public transport in Rotterdam, you will need the 'OV-chipkaart'
(Public Transport Chip Card), which can be purchased from AKO, a
newsagent at the airport.
Singles are really expensive - a OV Chipcard costs 7.50 and is valid in the
Whole country.
