### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2026-07-06, version 43.16.3*

Use the service every time when visiting family from overseas.

### 5/5 — Winning

*2026-06-17*

Always nice to be on the Tram, clean area with friendly people to chat with and the AC needs updating, some Trams are newer and very comfortable and some older ones are needing some maintenance 🧑‍🔧😉❤️

### 1/5 — Lateness and tracking.

*2026-06-15*

I really dislike this app, and its growing continuously. Today i got ready and stood by the bus stop. I waited and waited over the exact time, nobody came! I am now 20 minutes late.  On the tracking, it says it comes in 5 minutes, however it nevet comes. I ended up waiting triple that time, and after that i go to figure another route, the bus ends up coming. The tracking system just doesn’t work. Unfortunately there is ko other system, however this system is not in my interests.
I also wish they added english, they send me many emails in my inbox on the app and i cant understand them!

### 2/5 — No Apple Pay

*2026-04-03, version 41.3.7*

Seem to think typing in card details to buy a ticket is a good thing, when Apple Pay would make payment for tickets simple

### 5/5 — Winning

*2025-04-28*

Always nice to be on the Tram, clean area with friendly people to chat with and the AC is lovely.

### 2/5 — Vrijwel onbruikbare app

*2023-03-23, version 5.26.1*

Vrijwel onbruikbare app, wat een geknoei. Heb het maar met Maps uitgezocht en kaartje uit een automaat gekocht. De andere daar deed het trouwens niet.

### 1/5 — Always delayed and deviated!

*2022-05-11, version 5.14.3*

This is the worst public transportation system that I have ever seen in my life (after living in 6 different countries)! The app shows you a bus schedule but buses never come on the time predicted by the app! Meanwhile, they often have temporary rout deviation but normally it is not notified in the app. Very disorganized and it wastes my time everyday. NOT recommended!

### 1/5 — Do not TAP the MOBILE

*2022-03-12, version 5.12.2*

Do not tap the mobile on the machine inside the bus. It changes you automatically 7.50 euros. The most expensive tram/bus trip I have see in the world.

### 1/5 — Nooit optijd

*2021-05-28*

De bussen en trammen komen nooit op tijd, elke keer wanneer ik refresh verdwijnt een bus/tram gewoon die normaal moest komen.

### 1/5 — Not clear set up

*2019-09-14, version 4.8.3*

Not tourist friendly 
Tried to sign up but it doesn’t work
