Travelers should be on each train journey, 3 cents extra to pay, so that the ov-chipkaartsoftware for carriers can be customized. That says, the commission Meijdam in its opinion on the ov-chipkaart. The commission considers such a’gemakstaks’ reasonable.
By travelers extra money to charge, 50 million euro together to be raked. That amount is required to use the software at the back-end of the ov-chipkaart so that travelers no longer have check in and out if they make a transfer. That says, the commission Meijdam, that the problems with the ov-chipkaart examined in its report. Now, passengers should still check-out and check-in if they switch carriers on the track, for example, as they make a journey, in which a transition is of an NS train on a Syntus train.
The commission Meijdam finds it “fair” that passengers have to pay themselves to this extra convenience. For this system, the back-end to be adjusted, so that different carriers can work together to make a rate to write off the traveler. That is now not possible. Also, the paper card will be retained until the software is adjusted. That takes two to three years.
Carriers should be coulanter prepare towards people who are wrong in or checked out. Now is there still a penalty, in an anonymous card, 20 euro depreciated if there is accidentally a mistake is made.
The commission shall, in addition to many tasks of Trans Link Systems to transfer to a new public TRANSPORT Authority. The supervisor must consist of people from governments, carriers and consumers. The public TRANSPORT Authority should make the decision making easier. TLS is unable to do so, argues the commission.
Since the introduction of the ov-chipkaart, there is a lot of criticism on the map, and the carriers. The map is easy to hack, it would travel has become more expensive and the introduction would be chaotic expired. The commission agrees that between TLS, carriers, and government mistrust is created.
