    Strippenkaart
    In 2010 the paper strippenkaart in Amsterdam and Rotterdam is replaced by the 'OV-card': a plastic electronic card. OV is Dutch for 'Openbaar Vervoer' and means 'Public Transportation'. Only the OV-card will be accepted for tram, bus and metro. OV-cards (for 24, 48 and 72 hours) can be purchased at the Public Transportation office at the Central Station Square.

    At the start of the journey you have to check-inn. The picture to the right shows a ov-card reader. When you leave the tram/metro/bus, don't forget to check-out otherwise you pay too much money (your card will be charged a higher amount).
