Green travel options
UM is committed to promoting a more sustainable way of traveling to both students and staff. Therefore, we encourage students who have a travel time within 8-13 hours to take the train or bus as much as they can. By choosing a more environmentally friendly option such as the train or bus, your journey would emit less carbon and be more energy efficient.

The bus company FlixBus operates in nearly all of Europe and offers a cheap and reliable alternative. We have developed an interactive train travel check to help simplify decision-making. Here, you can see the direct carbon impact of your trip, the travel distance and possible train destinations within 8-13 hours of reach from Maastricht. It's easy to go through the map and compare the different options.
