No supervisor necessary, but you can use some help to get from platform 1 to platform 6. Then the NS also offers travel assistance. Read here More.

Transport to hospital
The health insurer reimburses hospital transport if someone with poor eyesight can only travel under supervision. Information about this can be found at your own health insurer. Please note that an annual personal contribution is included (€111.-). This is therefore only possible with regular visits.

Hospital transport can also be arranged from the WMO Act, which was described above.

Taxi transport for recreational trips
Valys is for travelers with a mobility impairment who want to make social-recreational trips outside their own region. On a family visit or a day out? For short distances there is a local or regional transport system in many places, but if you want to travel further afield there is Valys. Valys can be used if you travel further than 5 public transport zones or 25 km from your home address. All this for an attractive rate.

Valys also offers various options to combine the taxi with the train. Read all about Valys here.

Rejected for the driver's license, now what?
If your visual acuity is lower than 0.5/50% or your horizontal field of view is smaller than 120 degrees, you are formally no longer allowed to drive a car. In this case, the ophthalmologist can refer you to Visio for the AutO-Mobility program. It will then be determined whether you are still allowed to drive a BTS.
Read all about the Auto-Mobility program here. This page also contains information about safely participating in traffic without a car, or call 088 585 85 85 directly.
