OV-chipkaart
The OV-chipkaart is a contactless smart card system for all public transport in the Netherlands. It fully replaced the previous strippenkaart system for public transport in buses, trams and metro, on 3 November 2011. Only on trains is it possible to buy single or return paper tickets. The full name in Dutch is Openbaarvervoerchipkaart (literally "public transport chip card") though this full name is almost never used: the shorter OV-chipkaart is used, as is the abbreviation OV to refer to public transport.
