 Keep in mind! On December 31^st public transport runs until 20:00 hours.

Public Transport card
The new public transport smart card system is called the OV-chipkaart. You can almost travel anywhere within The Netherlands by loading your OV-chipkaart with credit at a ticket office of the bus, train or underground statiouns or in a vending machine.

There are three different cards:

• The personal OV-chip card, which is for registered customers.
• The anonymous OV-chip card, which can be purchased at all underground, bus or train stations or in a vending machine.
• The disposable OV-chip card, which has a predetermined validity. This card cannot be reloaded. This card can be bought at the vending machines, at all underground, bus or train stations or in the bus or tram.

To upload your smart card use your bank card, credit card or cash. This website has more information on the smart card.
