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.

Famous quotes containing the words ticket and/or system:

—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“Psychoanalysis is an attempt to examine a person’s self-justifications. Hence it can be undertaken only with the patient’s cooperation and can succeed only when the patient has something to gain by abandoning or modifying his system of self-justification.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
