As of July 1, the coronavirus has been relaxed again. But what do these relaxed rules actually mean for transport. So much information has been released that we can no longer see the forest through the trees. What is allowed and what is not allowed, and what will it cost if you do not follow the rules? What does this mean for traveling by public transport and for traveling by car? A few things remain unchanged and everyone knows: If you have a cold like sneezing, coughing and sore throat, don't travel by public transport. Not even if you have an increase or a fever (from 37,5 degrees). Furthermore, wash your hands, cough and sneeze in your elbow regularly, use paper tissues and do not shake hands. 

The ANWB website contains the following rules for traveling by car:

You can travel together in a car again from 1 July. People from the same household (people living under one roof) were already allowed to do this, but now people who do not belong to the same household are also allowed to travel together again in a car. Do you share the car with people who do not belong to the same household? Then it is wise to wear a non-medical or homemade mouth mask. However, you are not obliged to do this. Please note that if you do not belong to the same household and you are 18 years or older, you are obliged to keep 1,5 meters away from each other after getting out. If you do not do this and you are with 3 or more people, you risk a fine of € 95 (13 to 17 years) or € 390 (18 years and older).

The ANWB website contains the following rules for traveling by public transport:

All seats in the bus, train, tram and metro will be available again from 1 July. To avoid crowds, travelers are asked to travel outside rush hours as much as possible, work from home and take the bicycle or car if possible. Since June 1, 2020, you are required to wear a face mask when traveling by public transport. This measure will continue to apply to anyone aged 13 or older. In the train, bus, tram, metro and on the ferries to the Wadden Islands you must therefore always wear a non-medical or homemade mask. Put on your mouth mask before boarding. If you travel without a mask, you can be fined € 95. You do not have to wear a mask at the station, platform or at stops, but the 1,5 meter measure remains in force. Use a new or washed face mask every trip, even when you are traveling back and forth. For travelers who travel by bus, extra advice is given: get in and check in the back as much as possible. Follow the walking routes, touch as little as possible, keep sufficient distance in the train and when getting on and off.

On the website of the ANWB there are the following rules for passenger transport with passenger vans, taxis and coaches:

For passenger buses, taxis and coaches, all seats may be used again. You must reserve a place in advance. Here, too, all passengers aged 13 and older must wear a non-medical mouth mask. A health check will take place in advance to make traveling as safe as possible.
