    The system in the Netherlands is shit for foreigners. E.g. if you want a personalized OV-Chipkaart you can only pay with iDEAL, for which you need a Dutch Bank account.___

      You can use public transportation directly with any V-pay, maestro, visa or MasterCard debit- or credit card, or Apple or Google pay nowadays.

      If you absolutely must have a chipkaart, you can get one from any ticket machine at a station. No Dutch bank account required.

        No I can’t get a personalized OV-Chipkaart this way, which is necessary for certain subscriptions and OV-Fiets. Only anonymous chip kaarts are sold via ticket machines
