OV Guide Pass poor-sighted passengers

Depending on the railway network involved when travelling (see table), the OV Guide Pass allows the guide to travel along free of charge, while the blind person travels with a ‘normal’ rail pass* (full fare, RailPlus, Benelux Youth, FIP and the like).
* Special offer fares, passes (InterRail), free tickets or proof of identity/rail passes for railways staff are excluded from this.

Special conditions:

• The rail pass for the guide should be purchased in the country where the guide pass was issued.
• The guide and the passenger who requires a guide should travel together in the same class.
• The stations of arrival and departure should be the same on both rail passes.
• The handicapped passenger should show the guide pass during ticket control.
