Default How much was a ticket for the underground in the 60s?
In article writes:

The question to Rian (who anyway is in Belgium)
should be "Wouldn't it have been easier to pay with a debit card?" (rather
than withdrawing unusual amounts of cash from his bank).

Agreed.

At least in the Netherlands there is a maximum amount that can be payed with
a debit card. And that maximum is independent of the saldo on your account.
When I bought a computer quite some time ago (and, no, it was not a cheap
one), the total amount exceeded this maximum (DFL 2000 at that time), so I
had to pay the remainder by credit card.
