Actually, this is the case in the Netherlands right now (without the
press coverage yet): people with season tickets are being fined for
not touching in, despite the season ticket being valid for that area
and mode of transport.

I note the Dutch OV Chipkaart seems to be similar in concept to
London. I will be trying it out next week so will see how it compares
relative to the London system. *Checking in and out on trams and buses
*in vehicle" certainly seems to be different to London (assuming I've
understood the instructions properly!).

I'd like to hear about your experiences. So far I would prefer the
London system from the perspective of ease of use.
