Syntus

From Free net encyclopedia

Syntus bv is a public transport company operating bus and passenger train services in the east of the Netherlands. It is owned jointly by NS Reizigers, Connexxion, and Keolis.

Rail routes operated by Syntus are Arnhem – Winterswijk, Zutphen – Winterswijk, and (since December 2003) Zutphen – Hengelo – Oldenzaal. In 2005 the route from Arnhem to Tiel was added. The track and other infrastructure used by all these routes is managed by ProRail.

Most of the company's rail services are operated using Lint 41 diesel multiple units, although Syntus also leases a couple of DM'90s from NS.

Syntus is a partner with the country's other passenger railway operators in a common national fare system, while for bus journeys the National Tariff System [1] applies.
