Public transport
In Den Helder, Connexxion will take you from Central Station to the ferry port. On Texel, Connexxion operates under the name Texelhopper. Public transport on Texel consists of bus line 28 that runs at fixed times and vans that you need to book in advance. Bus 28 runs between the Veerhaven, Den Burg center, and De Koog. The small Texelhopper vans take you to and from a few hundred boarding points spread across the island. These Texelhopper vans must be reserved at least 30 minutes in advance. You can plan your trip and make bookings on Texelhopper.nl.
