Fare collection systems in the Netherlands

The OV-chipkaart (, short for openbaar vervoer chipkaart , meaning public transport chipcard) is a contactless smart card and integrated ticketing system used for all public transport in the Netherlands. First introduced in the Rotterdam Metro in April 2005, it has subsequently been rolled out to other areas and travel modes. It fully replaced the national strippenkaart system for buses, trams, and metro trains in 2011, and the paper ticket system for rail travel in July 2014.
