Android users no longer need an OV Chipkaart to travel

From Monday, May 22, 2017, public transport passengers in the Netherlands can check in with their smartphones provided they are Android users. If you have an Android smartphone, you can now use it instead of your OV Chipkaart on public transport. OV-Chip Mobiel is a collaboration between public transport smartcard manufacturer Translink and telecommunication companies including Vodaphone, KPN, Telfort, Simyo and Yes Telecom.
