Pick-up point on the bus
Some buses still have a pick-up point on the outside where you can collect the subscription or discount card you purchased in the webshop for your OV-chipkaart.
Which buses have a pick-up point?
As more and more travellers use debit cards to check in and out (OVpay) and thus no longer need to load a balance or product onto their OV-Chipkaart, there is much less use of pick-up points. Therefore, more and more pick-up points on buses and in shops will disappear.Do you have a Studentenreisproduct, a subscription or a discount product? Then you still need an OV-chipkaart and you will have to collect it from a pick-up point. Before traveling, always check where the nearest pick-up point is in the service points finder.
