Smartphone app, NS, can check or traveler is checked out

The NS does a test with an app that travelers can check whether or not they are in or checked out. Also, they can in that app, a upgrade control to the first class. The app requires a smartphone with nfc.

It is not yet possible to check in with your smartphone, allowing you to travel without a physical chip card still will not be possible. The app already exists, says a spokesperson of the NS against Tweakers. “NS-employees got that app on their own smartphones.” When the app becomes available for the public at large, the carrier has not yet been said.

The app can be done via an nfc module in the smartphone is the status of the ov-chip card read by the device and the chip card against each other. At this time not yet. Nfc is in almost all of the more expensive smartphones of the past few years, on the iPhone after.

In addition to the smartphone app, go to the NS a trial with the travel per bank card; it allows users to check in and out. The first bank to enter ABN-Amro, reports the newspaper Metro. The NS knows when the trial will take place. In addition, there is still no certainty about whether the travel per debit card for everyone will be possible. The NS takes these steps after the abolition of the paper card by the 9th of July. That step has so far provided for around six hundred complaints.

Update, Tuesday: As tweaker djwice notice many newer smartphones, the data from the older card can’t read.
