National tariff system (Netherlands)

The national tariff system (Dutch: nationaal tariefsysteem or nationale vervoerbewijzen/NVB) is a ticketing and zoning scheme for local public transport in the Netherlands.

With the abolition of the strippenkaart (strip card) on 3 November 2011, only the sterabonnement (Star subscription) remains organized under the national tariff system.

The system also applies to the following rail routes: The strippenkaart, introduced on 1 October 1980 and abolished on 3 November 2011, was a ticket composed of several strips, to be validated when used.

Strippenkaart prices (As of 1 January 2011[update]) Strippenkaarten were sold by tobacconists, supermarkets, tourist offices and public transport companies.

The Zomerzwerfkaart or "Summer roaming card" is a special ticket available only during June, July and August, which allows the bearer to travel for a whole day in the Netherlands on public transport subject to the National Tariff System.
