From: Charles J. van Doornewaard on 1 Mar 2010 16:42 That is absolutely right. We now use the so called OV Chip Card.

Seems very expensive, particularly compared to Nice, Cote d'Azur, where a seven day card with unlimited travel on buses and trams costs just �15

A one day ticket costs less than 3 single rides and is also less than the *non-refundable* charge for the chip card. It's a no brainier for the one off visitor, even when making the most minimal number of journeys. tim
