+More information can be obtained by using the [GVB](http://en.gvb.nl/) or [9292](http://9292.nl/en) websites. Both have excellent apps in the iOS ([GVB](https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/gvb/id370393784) & [9292](https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/9292/id556557690)) and Google Play ([GVB](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.moopmobility.gvb&hl=en)) & [9292](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.negentwee&hl=en)) store.

+
+##### A note to out of towners in in regards to obtaining a reloadable card for public transportation.
+
+You can purchase an "OV chipkaart" at Amsterdam Centraal and most large metro stations (including Schiphol). Note that the unattended machines do not handle non-EU issued (e.g. Chip+Signature) cards well. Some U.S. Credit Unions now offer Chip+Pin technology on their *debit* card (note: not *credit* card). If your card doesn't work or want to use Euros (other than coins), there is a customer service center located on the "IJ side" of Amsterdam Centraal where you can purchase a chipkaart in person at the [Service Office](https://www.nsinternational.nl/en/tickets-services/opening-hours-ticket-and-service-shops "Link to NS International Service Office"). If you're arriving via Schiphol - a similar service is offered in the main train hall
