Breng is Now RRReis: What Changed for Bus Travel in Nijmegen and Arnhem?

If you've recently moved to Nijmegen or Arnhem, or you're returning after the summer, you may notice something different when taking the bus.

Breng is no longer the main bus brand in the region. Since 28 June 2026, bus services in Arnhem and Nijmegen operate under the RRReis brand, together with a completely new timetable and several changes to routes and line numbers.

If your usual bus suddenly has a different number—or seems to have disappeared—don't worry. In many cases, the route has simply been renamed or adjusted.

Why Did Breng Become RRReis?

The Province of Gelderland introduced a new public transport concession covering the Arnhem-Nijmegen region and Veluwe Zuid.

As part of this change:

• Breng has been replaced by the RRReis brand.

• Transdev continues operating the buses.

• The network has been redesigned to improve connections across the region.

• More electric buses are being introduced.

• Bus schedules are better coordinated with train arrivals and departures.

What Changed?

The biggest changes include:

Some bus lines have new numbers

Several familiar Breng routes now operate under different line numbers.

For example:

• Some existing routes have simply been renumbered.

• Others have been merged into longer routes.

• A few lines have disappeared entirely and been replaced by alternative services.

If you always took "Bus 80" or "Bus 82," it's worth checking whether that service now has a different line number.

Some routes have changed

Even if your bus keeps the same number, it may no longer follow exactly the same route.

Depending on where you live, you may notice:

• new stops,

• removed stops,

• different end destinations,

• or slightly different travel times.

These changes are intended to improve connections throughout the region.

More frequent buses

The good news is that many popular routes now run more often.

RRReis has increased service frequency on busy city and regional routes, making it easier to travel during:

• rush hour,

• evenings,

• weekends,

• and early mornings.

Several train stations—including Nijmegen, Arnhem Centraal, Elst, and Ede-Wageningen—also have better bus connections after late-arriving trains.

New night buses

If you enjoy nightlife or work evening shifts, there's another welcome change.

From July 2026, night buses operate on Saturday nights from cities including:

• Nijmegen

• Arnhem

• Ede

• Apeldoorn

This makes it much easier to get home after a night out or a late train.

Why Your Old Bus Might Not Exist Anymore

Many students search online for bus lines they've used for years.

Examples include:

• "Where is Bus 80?"

• "Why can't I find Bus 82?"

• "Did Bus 14 disappear?"

In many cases, the bus hasn't disappeared—it has simply:

• received a new line number,

• been combined with another route,

• or been replaced by a more efficient connection.

Always check the latest timetable before travelling.

How to Find the Correct Bus

Instead of relying on old timetables or Google results, use:

• RRReis Journey Planner

• 9292

• Google Maps

• the RRReis app

These services automatically use the new routes and timetables.

Tips for International Students

If you're new to the Netherlands:

• Don't rely on older blog posts or YouTube videos showing Breng routes.

• Double-check your route before travelling to university or work.

• Save your most-used journey in the RRReis or 9292 app.

• If you're travelling to Radboud University, HAN University of Applied Sciences, or Arnhem University of Applied Sciences, verify whether your regular bus still uses the same line number.

A quick check can save you from missing class—or arriving late for your first day at work.

Final Thoughts

The switch from Breng to RRReis is more than a new logo. Many routes, line numbers and timetables have changed across Arnhem and Nijmegen.

Fortunately, the changes also bring several improvements, including more frequent buses, better train connections, additional evening services and new night buses.

If you're unsure whether your regular route still exists, check the official RRReis journey planner before travelling.
