The OV-chipkaart (smart card) is simplifying the use of public
transportation in the Netherlands. Residents and visitors alike need
only one of these transportation travel smart cards to ride on virtually
all public trains, buses, trams, and metros throughout the Netherlands.
Depending on the type of card, the chipkaart is loaded with the
full price of the entire journey or automatically deducts the fare at
the completion of a trip. Tourists will no longer need to work through
complicated tariff zones to determine how many strips need to be stamped
at the start of journeys.
The introduction of the OV-Chipkaart (public transportation smart card)
throughout the Netherlands has made the use of trains, trams, buses, and
metros easier than ever. Travelers no longer have to struggle through
complicated fare zone maps to determine the number of strips that need
to be stamped on transportation cards but simply wave the electronic
smart card at card readers at the start and end of journeys.
