Dark design at @ns_online — asked to pay extra for getting on an “International train” on a journey I had a valid ticket for. A tourist tax.
So, @NS_online, from this information, I’m supposed to know I cannot use my valid ticket for the route on this train.pic.twitter.com/qUE8pJiuDT

…And had to pay a supplement to get from Eindhoven to Utretch to catch the train to Schiphol.

@aral did you pay the small amount. ^TW 2/2 -
@NS_online I paid the “small amount” & got off to change for Schiphol train in Utrecht as I originally planned. Very silly system; pls fix.

@aral@NS_online There are other trains heading the same direction without the fee. But for a tourist, this design is terrible. (2/2)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral@NS_online "Met toeslag" translated is "with extra fee" It's a faster train to Amsterdam / Schiphol. (1/2)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral better advice.. friends of mine do this, basically smart to get an anon chip card (train/bus/tram) all over NL http://www.holland.com/global/tourism/article/ov-chip-card-5.htm … -
@aral 2/2 btw, - re: Anonymous OV chip card - don't forget to sign in & out with the ticket reader just outside bus/trains/trams.
