The Studentenreisproduct is a form of free public transport for students in the Netherlands. Introduced in 1991, the system is a solution for students who don't live near their university or college. The central government intends for this to stimulate teenagers in the development of their education.

Students can choose either free transport on weekdays and a 40% discount on the weekend, or vice versa.[1]
