Mobile checkout stagnates

amersfoort - The introduction of OV Chip Mobile stagnates. Check-in and check-out with the mobile phone is often unavailable for KPN users because logging is not successful.

'KPN proves to be too technical problems with the online installation. That's what we are doing. For Vodafone, those barriers do not apply. We are working on a solution, 'said the spokeswoman.

OV Chip Mobile was launched last week by all public transport companies in collaboration with Translink, the OC chip card publisher, and the telecom companies. 'We run this option in phases, starting with Android, full-fare travel and auto-charging. '

Also, iPhones are not available at the time of check-in and check-out, as well as discounted subscriptions. 'It has been deliberately decided to try this in practice. Then it is logical that there are childhood diseases. However, a failure is not possible. We are going on quietly. '

According to the spokeswoman, there are now a few thousand mobile phones active in train, bus, tram and metro. Chairman Arrien Kruyt of passenger association Rover supports these tests. 'It's the future. Then you have to start somewhere. That's what everyone can learn from. '

On the OV Chip Mobile website, travelers can see the current state of affairs about registrations.
