Rotterdamse Elektrische Tram (RET) is the main public transport operator in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It started in 1905 when they took over the city tram lines from RTM (Rotterdamsche Tramweg Maatschappij). It currently operates 35 bus lines, 11 tram lines and five metro/light rail lines in Rotterdam and the surrounding municipalities.

Until 29 January 2009, RET fully used the National Tariff System, like other local transport companies in the Netherlands. Since that date however, the metro can only be used by people with an OV-chipkaart. Until 11 February 2010, the National Tariff System was still valid on buses and trams, but that system now has also been dropped in favour of the OV-chipkaart.
