What does glimble cost?

There is no cost to downloading the app. You only pay for the journeys you book. The app shows your travel options and the cost.

Can I travel in the Netherlands and in the German and Belgian border areas without an OV-chipkaart?

Yes. With glimble, you can travel without an OV-chipkaart. You book an e-ticket for each ride. When travelling by train, you can use your e-ticket to open ticket gates at the station. When travelling by bus, you scan your e-ticket on the bus. Apart from that, you do not need to check in and out. Easy!

Where can I find the journeys I booked in the app?

The journeys you booked can be found in the app in the menu under "My rides". Your ticket will be visible in the app for 30 days. And on your home screen as soon as your ticket is valid/active.

Can I buy tickets for more people?

Yes, add passengers, buy more tickets, all in one app. Even if you have a travel package or are travelling on business. Read how it works here.

Do you see real-time arrival times at stops and stations in the app?

There is real-time route guidance in the app, which is our travel assistant. This indicates real-time arrival times. The trip planner does not currently show real-time times, such as a delay.
