Ticket System
The OV-chipkaart is the only valid form of ticket on the metro system. It replaced the so-called strippenkaart system on August 27, 2009, after the two systems had run parallel since 2006. New ticket gates have been installed in all enclosed stations, with standalone checkin/checkout machines where platforms are shared with train or tram lines.

“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
