How to get to the Koos Vorrinkhuis by public transport

From Schiphol to the Koos Vorrinkhuis (Koudelaan 16, Lage Vuursche) direct:

Taxis are available directly at the front of the main hall of Schiphol. A one way trip from Schiphol to the Koos Vorrinkhuis will cost between €90 and €140 (depending on traffic). Taking a taxi from Schiphol is expensive and not necessary. Τhe trains run frequently, fast, and are reliable. However, it may be cost effective if you share and pre-order your taxi (e.g. via https://www.taxicentrale-schiphol.nl/en/ or via http://www.aroanders.nl/tarief/).

*Be very careful NOT to follow people pretending to be “official taxi driver” and trying to lead you away from the main hall. They are NOT official taxi drivers and may charge extremely high prices.

From Schiphol to Hilversum:

The train station is located directly beneath the “arrivals” hall at Schiphol. This is only a short walking distance and there will be proper signage to guide you.
There are 4 direct trains/hour. The trip takes between 31 and 48 minutes.

Train tickets cost €7,60 one way, and can be bought at Schiphol (as illustrated in Figure 1 below) or on line via https://www.ns.nl/producten/en/keuze/shl/hvs/20180901
