Welcome to National Transport Company (NVB)!
We’re proud to provide essential public transportation throughout Suriname, connecting Paramaribo with towns and cities across the country. If you’re looking to explore beyond the capital, we can help you get there!
Here’s how to travel with us:
- Visit our central station: Find us near Knuffelsgracht and the Waterkant in Paramaribo – we’re right in the heart of the city, and conveniently located near RRGV+F93.
- Choose your destination: We commonly travel to places like Nieuw Nickerie and Albina, and many other destinations throughout Suriname.
- Purchase your ticket: Tickets are available for purchase directly at the bus station or from the driver as you board. We currently operate on a cash-only basis, and reservations aren't required.
- Be patient and prepared: Our buses depart when full, so there may be a short wait as passengers board.
- Enjoy the ride: Travel times vary depending on your destination – for example, the journey to Albina typically takes between 2-4 hours.
We are a government-operated service dedicated to connecting communities across Suriname. While you may hear about occasional operational challenges, we remain committed to providing reliable transport for all our passengers.
For getting around within Paramaribo itself, you’ll find minibuses and taxis are the most common and convenient options. If you’re planning a journey further into the interior or across borders, you may need to supplement your bus travel with boat or taxi services.
