- 2 Centraal Station - De Laar West
- 3 Burgers Zoo - Het Duifje
- 5 Schuytgraaf - Presikhaaf
- 6 Centraal Station - Elsweide/HAN

Formerly, route 4 was part of the trolleybus network, but it became part of route 2 in 1950, after no more than four months of existence. The current line 4 in Arnhem is a CNG bus, but on a different route. The same goes for route 9 , which was discontinued in 2002 (divided between routes 5 and 7). The number 9, too, is now used on a different route in the CNG bus network. Route 7 is the second with this number, the first one being a rush hour line running on the central part of line 1.
