 With the abolition of the "strippenkaart" (strip card) on 3 November 2011, only the "sterabonnement" (Star subscription) remains organized under the national tariff system.The system does not apply to Dutch Railways (NS), which have their own pricing regime; however there are limited sections of railway (generally in urban areas or on non-NS lines) on which the system is valid.The national tariff system applies on most local bus and tram routes, with the exception of special tourist and leisure services, express services, night buses; and "buurtbussen", which are neighbourhood services run by volunteers.
