Last Day of the Netherlands Ticket, Will Travelers Remain 'Fans of the Train'?

The ticket aimed to provide a cheaper alternative to high fuel prices, but was only valid outside peak hours. Many young travelers used the ticket, and the government hopes this will encourage continued train travel after the ticket’s discontinuation.
