OV-Chip card

To be able to travel by public transport, you need an OV chip card. As a visitor you will purchase an anonymous OV-chip card or a disposable OV-chip card. You can buy single tickets at one of the NS vending machines at the train station for a small extra charge. Do you not have a public transport chip card and do you want to travel by bus or tram? That is no problem, for a small surcharge you buy a ticket from the driver. For train travel you do need a chip card.
