The chipkaart costs 7,50 euros but the train trip between Schiphol and Maastricht is 5,85 euros cheaper with the chipkaart than with a paper ticket so you still come out ahead. You can get one from the ticket machines I believe but it probably makes more sense to buy one at the ticket counter and ask them to charge the card with the right amount of credit so you don't run out too soon or get stuck with too much left.
Using the counter will cost you 1,50 extra right? So not sure about coming out ahead. You will also forget to "check out" causing your card to be drained immediately. Been there, done that, have the empty cards...
I'll compile detailed instructions in july.
Today there was an article about faking the cards on dutch news, but the article vanished. Could be a prelude to April 1st. Paul _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
