How to use contactless payments on all Public Transport in The Netherlands

Notice: the mentioned supplement is only required for the so-called "intercity direct" between Schiphol and Rotterdam. All other intercities and all other routes have no supplement :)

What happens if I’m the only one in a group with a card? Is there no way to use the same card to check in (and out) multiple tickets?

i love how organized and clear this video is, thank you!!!

Hi, great video! I will be going to Amsterdam soon with my husband. When we enter a tram/bus together, should we tap the same credit card twice? Will that register as two passengers? Or will we require two different cards - one for each person? Thank you!

Thank you for the informative video! I have a question regarding the "be sure to tap in and out using the same device". Does that mean that two people can technically use the same credit card linked to different devices at the same time? Such as I use the physical credit card and another person uses Google Wallet linked to the same card?

What other options are there for children who do not have contactless payment cards?

Hello, is there a child fare on Amsterdam? My kid is 7 years old & if I gave him one of my contactless cards to tap, he will be charged as adult, right?

Very helpful info 👍

so can i travel with the ov card from the hague to the nethrlands or do i need a seperate ticket?

Great video,
Do you know if the Express function from apple works at Amsterdam?

Very useful - thank you
:)

ook bij R-NET bussen? die rode bussen? met mijn ING Pas?

Do I get charged again in check-out?

Hii, i have a question. How can i get a card of the NS by internet??

What happens if you don’t check out of the tram after using a credit card to check in? Will the charge still happen?

Greetings! Great video...😃
Quick question; is the Waterbus line 21, Rotterdam to Kinderdijk considered public transport and as such contactless can be used? Thanks in advance...

Very helpful and detailed. Thank you!

Is there a transfer system that allows you to switch between two different modes of transportation without incurring additional costs, or is it still considered as two separate journeys that you must pay for individually? Like when you have to change transportation to get to a place that has no direct mode of transportation going

Useful and informative
Thanks a lot! Saved me some headaches

When using contactless pay, how do you show proof that you paid for it if you’re asked for it? Since it doesn’t show the transactions till end of day?

Thank you very much. It's particularly useful to know you have to touch in and touch out on buses/ trams - that's not how it works in London, so helpful to have that clarification.

Barend borrelworst???😂😂😂

thank you. I'm going to have a tour by train and it's very uefull.

When traveling by train to and from different cities in the Netherlands, how does the system know how much to charge you? Is it based on where you check in at and then where you check out from? For example, if I scan my card at Amsterdam Centraal and travel to Rotterdam and check out there, will it charge appropriately for that trip?

I have the following question: my daughter has a German severely disabled person's pass and the marks B, H, G. If I have understood correctly, she has to pay for the journeys, but I as an accompanying person travel for free. In this case, can two people simply go through these barriers? Are these barriers open long enough for 2 people to pass through?

Excellent and clear video, looks like a great system - look forward to using it later this month. I love how contactless is spreading to public transport around the world!

Supplement is a bullshit system, makes it very complicated.

Just make it easy, check in and check out.

Holland always does things the most complicated way 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'll be traveling to Amsterdam and Edam in less than two weeks, and really appreciate all this information. Still not exactly sure if I'll have to link my contactless foreign (U.S.-issued) VISA credit card to Apple Pay before I use it there--or can I just check in and out using the card? Thank you.

thanks, man. Don't know why the OV website doesn't have a real life video like this

We are traveling with two teenagers and my husband. We all use the same credit card obviously. What is the best workaround for this?

Hi! Great vid btw 👍🏼

We are planning to visit Rotterdam, The Hague and then Amsterdam next month and just wondered if we just use our contactless cards to pay for the train journeys between the cities too or is it better to buy those tickets in advance separately on apps such as Trainline? Are train tickets cheaper bought in advance or it's the same if we buy them on the day?

Could I use Revolut card for payment of public transport?

Really useful video. Thanks. I will shortly be staying in Maastricht by making cross-border day trips to places like Liege, Aachen and Koln. Is a simple check in and out using my contactless credit card still possible for such journeys?

I was in the Netherlands a few days ago and this system is perfect. Thank you Netherlands. By the way, people are very kind, pleasant and relaxed.

Hi, we are going to stay in Hillegom during 5 days, but we want to travel to Zandvort, Harleem and AMSTERDAM , i only have 9292 app, it will be useful???
thanks

Thanks for this great video! I'm travelling to Amsterdam next week and found this most helpful.
A quick question though: how does the fare compare to buying a day or multi-day ticket? If I make multiple journeys in a day using my foreign credit / debit card, will it be cheaper to get a day / multi-day card (and at how many journeys? e.g. 5+ journeys in a day?). I saw on a comment below there is no fare capping in The Netherlands like in London so wanted to ask. Thank you

Should I buy supplement at the station if I am travelling with etickets purchased online?

Vielen Dank für die einfache Erklärung

Does this work with Apple Wallet's Express Transit Card feature, where you don't need to unlock your device first? Can't seem to find any info on this anywhere...

Heyy I will be travelling from Schipol Airport to The Hague in the IC Fast Train, does that also require a supplement to be bought?

Great vid

Contsctless payments in public transport are great. I Czech republic we have at at least 5 years and it is vety comfortable

What to do when the conductor comes along to check on you check-in?

Hello,
I will be visiting Utrecht soon and want to use the public transport in the municipality. I've seen that a day ticket cost 6,95€.
Does this system take this into account and therefore I will not be debited beyond this amount if I check in and out all day ?

I was on holiday in Holland in March 2023, and used the local buses in Amersfoort with no problem using my bank card.
However when I got to Rotterdam to use the trams, I was told at the Tourist office that I must buy a OV Chip card as my bank card wasn't valid.
This meant having to pay a deposit on an OV Chip Card which I was only using for one holiday.

It's a great system. But not for elderly people or not for every nation. I can't imagine Italians checking in and out or my crowded Warsaw PL (2 million residents), where a tram or bus is stuffed like a kebab.

Thank you, that's very useful.
For train tickets with barcodes, do they get scanned at the same area of the scanner?

On the site it says "a foreign contactless debit or credit cards from Maestro, V pay, Mastercard, or Visa", so I guess a VISA debit from a Greek bank or a Maestro from Revolut will work just fine, correct?

Im still confused after reading and seeing multiple videos on this subject. I want to know if I still have to purchase any type of transit card in order to use Apple Pay or if I dont have to purchase any transit card and my payment will be paid by my personal credit card that is associated with my Apple Pay account

Thanks.....🌹🌹🌹
