It is in Dutch, but worth to read with a translator.

> govt introduced #identityCards, replacing #recyclable magnetic #tickets.Interesting. The metro systems in the Chinese cities we've visited still issue paper tickets for now, and the buses take cash, although its slightly cheaper to use the transport cards issued for both modes in each city.
