For the Netherlands, you could not be more wrong.
By law, all public transport companies for Trains, Metro, Tram, Bus, Watertaxies are hooked into the exact same NFC payment platform, the OV-chipkaart. Recently, they rolled out debit/credit card payments on these readers nation-wide.
Additionally, all public transportation companies provide standardized service information including live updates (often required by the law). Any journey can be fully planned on 9292.nl.
- moffkalast 4y agoGood thing the only country that exists is the Netherlands and nobody ever ventures outside of it. I do hope there is an eventual push for an EU-wide NFC system for public transport, that would be pretty dope.
