“ We ’ re more than proud that we supported the Netherlands to be the first country in the world to make checking in with a debit and credit card in public transport nationally available . With this implementation , we make public transport more accessible to the wider public ,” said Jan-Willlem van der Schoot , Country Manager , the Netherlands .

“ We see that many people faced hurdles when wanting to take public transport . From now on , no need to separately buy tickets or miss your train because the balance on your public transport card is too low . This has been an amazing team effort . So many people worked very hard on it during the last couple of years . It ’ s incredible to see how our efforts and those of our partners have made this happen .”
