Dutch transport operators and their national ticketing agency have disclosed updated details for rolling out a new white-label closed-loop card, while adding two months to the date when they plan to finally retire the country’s 20-year-old, Mifare-based closed-loop card, Mobility Payments has learned.
The group of nine transport operators and ticketing agency Translink Systems, which is overseeing the world’s first truly nationwide rollout of open-loop payments, is also projecting that closed-loop will remain the dominant fare payments method in the country.
