Which costs less than 5ct in bulk. Its just a way to force you buying online or using a ov chipcard instead. And if you wont, its just extra profit for them.
Having lived there, it also appears to be a method of controlling litter; it's intended to discourage buying single-use tickets, so people (especially tourists) don't leave their train tickets all over the place.
@@GGelixyes, it will automatically charge you, but don't forget to check in/out at one of the poles in stations without ticket barriers (like Schiphol Airport)
Is it possible to cross the validators and exit at another station? I mean if I have a ticket to Central station and want to go one more station (Sloterdjik) to exit there?
Well if the controller in the train can not catch you, you can get off at ams central station without checkin out then you can continue to Any direction you want :)
If you want to really cheese it, buy a one way ticked to the nearest train station (it will cost like 2,70) and you can use that to check in and out at every single train station in the country. As long as your don't get caught
@@justsomeone89Maybe they meant a visa or mastercard instead of maestro. I have both, and my mastercard works like a creditcard (and I'm just a student
You can get on the next train, time is only important for rush hour times (weekdays between 06 30 - 09 00 / 16 30 - 18 30. All other times out of rush hour are the same, u can get any train. For rush hour, prices are a bit higher

Reason as to why the actual ticket costs an extra euro. The ticket is a chipcard. Two pieces of cardboard with a flexible chip in-between.

You can actually just check in and out with your debit/credit card now, which will also cost €1 less
Real? No need to buy a ticket?

@@10meisterballe but if there are access gates how would you pass without a ticket
@@GGelix hold your debit/credit card to it. If there is not, hold it to a pole instead (that has the NFC symbol on it)
@@10meisterballe Alright, I might try this next time, thanks
Just tap in and out with your bank card.
Murat I miss Amsterdam so much!,,,, Saving to visit again! BLESSINGS AND HAPPY THOUGHTS? 😇🙏🌈🎉
This is helpful. Thanks
That's a bit crafty of them
Last time the machine is broken at midnight. People go under the turnstiles 😮

Yea…. Just don’t do that. It’s super retarded and arrogant
For about that same price you can travel that route off-peak hours.
Money saved in an honest way.
And finally an NL app that works with a ‘normal’ credit card rather than just iDeal ;)
IDeal is normal in the netherlands. Nobody has a credit card. You cant even get them when your income is lower than a certain amount.

@@justsomeone89 that's not true. I got a mastercard through ING and I am very poor
@@justsomeone89aestro and v pay are being phased out now and replaced with debit mastercard and visa debit, that you can use normally online
@@Larolingthe Netherlands is finally doing away with stupid maestro cards and updating to mastercard debit and visa debit
Okay but buying in advance, what if you miss the allotted time? Can you get on the next one without issue?

This guy is stingy....even more than us dutch😂😂
1€ for printing ?¿? Maybe the good people of the public transport manage to use some of this money to plant some tree's How know 's ?¿? 😉
I think it’s to encourage people to buy an OV-chipkaart. With that one, they don’t have to use those machines at all
The ticket actually has a flexible chipcard in it. You're not getting a physical ticket so no production cost. Makes perfect sense to me.
@@rayvg7709 those are less than 5ct in bulk... probably 1ct for the ns.
@@rayvg7709I very much doubt printing the ticket costs them €1
You are not even Dutch ! 🎉
