Reporting
We strive to be transparent regarding our performance, so at least once every quarter we look back on the figures published here and provide background information for the most significant results. And every six months, NS issues a detailed report on the progress of the Transport Plan.
Customer satisfaction
Satisfied customers are the most important priority for NS. Customer satisfaction rating is measured by asking train travellers to complete surveys and rate our performance with a grade of 1-10.

Types of indicators
We use 2 different types of indicators:
- Performance indicators: these are based on minimum norms that NS has agreed to meet during the period 2015-2019. If NS does not achieve these norms, then it may receive a fine from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. The norm is shown as a threshold value in the graphs. The performance indicators also describe a target value; the target score for 2019. A progression value is also recorded for each year. This value is higher than the threshold value, and shows the progression NS has achieved over the course of the stated year.
- Information indicators: these show our performance in a variety of other aspects of our services. No norms have been agreed upon with the government pertaining to these indicators. Almost all of the indicators are measured on a monthly or quarterly basis.
In addition to the dashboard, a detailed version of the most recent customer satisfaction, performance, and information indicators can be found in this document.
