Nijmegen sits on a glacial ridge above the Waal, and the bus network shows it: routes to Berg en Dal and Groesbeek climb the hill, while Oosterhout and Lent lie across the river. RRReis runs the city services from Centraal Station out to Dukenburg, Lindenholt, Weezenhof and Neerbosch, and also operates the regional buses into the Land van Maas en Waal and the Rijk van Nijmegen.

The university shapes much of the passenger flow. The Heyendaal campus has a station of its own on the sprinter line towards Den Bosch, and express buses 300 and 306 from Arnhem terminate there by the Huygens building. During term those are the busiest runs in the city. Open one of those stops on OVatlas and you see which bus or train is next in and how late it is running.

Three rail directions diverge at Nijmegen Centraal: intercities north over Arnhem towards Utrecht, sprinters west to Den Bosch and Dordrecht, and Arriva's Maaslijn south along the river to Venray and Roermond. Bus 58 additionally crosses the German border to Emmerich. What runs on the Dutch side you can follow live; what the German operator does not publish stays out of view.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reach Radboud University and the hospital?

The Heyendaal campus has its own station served by the sprinters, and it is also the terminus of express buses 300 and 306 from Arnhem. Open Station Heyendaal or the Huygens building on the map to see which train or bus arrives first.

Is there public transport from Nijmegen into Germany?

Yes. Bus line 58 carries on over the border to Emmerich. Because the German operator does not publish to the Dutch real-time feeds, such a run may only be fully trackable on the Dutch side of the border.

Which trains leave from Nijmegen Centraal?

NS runs the intercities to Arnhem, Utrecht and Amsterdam plus the sprinters towards Den Bosch and Zutphen. Arriva operates the Maaslijn down the river to Venray and Roermond. All three directions appear live on the map.

How many stations does Nijmegen have?

Three: Nijmegen Centraal, Nijmegen Dukenburg in the south-west and Nijmegen Heyendaal by the campus. The sprinters call at all three, while the intercities stop only at Centraal. OVatlas lets you open each station separately for departures.
