The trip takes approximately 20 minutes. Bus line 401 also runs between Eindhoven Airport and Eindhoven station. This bus line runs every 10 minutes and stops at all bus stops along the way.

Taxis

Taxis can be recognized by the lit ‘taxi’ sign on their roof, and their blue license plates (most personal Dutch vehicles have yellow plates). Taxis cannot be hailed on the street, but there are taxi stands at most train and bus stations, and by hotels. To have a taxi pick you up from your home or office, phone a local company.
