In the exam (Dutch)
Lisa reist met de trein. Ze betaalt met haar OV-chipkaart. Op het station vergeet ze uit te checken. Wat gebeurt er?
- aShe then usually pays too much.Ze betaalt dan meestal te veel.Correct answer
- bNothing, the journey is then free.Niets, de reis is dan gratis.
- cHer card will never work again.Haar kaart werkt nooit meer.
Why?
When you check in on the train, a fixed amount is taken from the card. If Lisa does not check out, she does not get that money back automatically. She can ask for it back later, but if she does nothing, she usually pays more than the journey costs.
