Penalties

  • What are the penalties?

    A penalty notice costs € 50, and is increased by € 6 for a ticket. This ticket allows you to travel for another 2 hours on HTM trams and buses (not valid on the HTM Night Bus) The inspector will ask for a valid identity document when they write the penalty notice. You must pay the amount of € 56 within 21 days, and you can pay the inspector immediately with a bank card (Dutch or most European cards). It is possible to make an objection to a penalty notice.

  • How do I pay the penalty?

    Pay it to the inspector immediately with a bank card (Dutch or most European cards), or transfer the correct amount from a bank account within 21 days to: IBAN NL71 INGB 0000 0088 30, in the name of: HTM verhoogd tarief rekening (HTM increased fare account).

    Quote the number shown on the front of the penalty notice. In this way you will avoid any additional charges for a reminder or the involvement by HTM of a collection agency.

  • How can I object to the penalty?

    You can make an objection to the penalty notice within 14 days of the date of the offence. Send a letter or an email to HTM to do this. HTM will deal with the objection only if the penalty notice has been paid within these 14 days. 

    You can make an objection if:

    • you can provide evidence showing that there was no good reason for you to receive the penalty notice
    • you can show there were relevant circumstances that the inspector failed to take into account.
