However one other NL issue that sticks: why don't train kiosks sell
Strippenkaarts? Integrated public transport, unintegrated tickets.


This is a bugbear - but at every station that's big enough to have a
ticket office there's usually a Kiosk (drinks, snacks etc), all of
which *do* sell Strippenkaarten.

And
don't start me on the chip-bloody-knip.


It's a good idea that could really do with being rolled out throughout
Europe. Until it is, however, I find it quite annoying that anywhere
is allowed to *only* accept it.
