The answer to your question...
Paying without iDEAL
Are you unable or unwilling to pay for your train ticket iDEAL? In that case, you can use your credit card or call NS Customer Service.
Deferred payments
If you don't have a valid ticket in the train, the conductor or Security & Service assistant will sell you a ticket and collect the legal fine of € 50. If you cannot pay in cash on the spot, then you will be granted deferred payment if you can provide proof of identification.
Correction fee and boarding fee
If we don't know which stations you boarded or left the train, for example because you forgot to check in or out and didn't correct it in time, then we will charge you a correction fee or a boarding fee. See which situation applies to you.
