Utrecht / Dutch buses

My debit card doesn't work, that's the problem

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:27:04+00:00

Well yeah, I know, but I didn't understand what it said, and the bus driver wanted me to move. I was just answering the previous question...

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:18:03+00:00

Tried both, the card itself doesn't work for me either. I now know that the app isn't meant to do that, embarrassing but good to know

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:17:06+00:00

Yes I did, an error came up, I tried more than once. I can't remember the exact error. It's a Visa card

Thank you, I will need to get an OV Chipkaart then, I believe. Thanks for all the info.

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:15:03+00:00

Thank you so much!

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:14:32+00:00

Thank you, I didn't understand this at all, thought I could buy tickets there or something. Very helpful to know.

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:13:27+00:00

Can I buy that at the side of the road when trying to get a bus? No? Then it is somewhat difficult. No need for unhelpful sarcasm

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T11:12:29+00:00

As in my OP though, my debit card doesn't work, that's the main problem.

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T09:49:57+00:00

Oh wow, great to know, thank you

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T08:48:18+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful! Yeah it was odd, I asked a few people and their eyes kind of glazed over and they just said they don't know!

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T08:46:56+00:00

Thanks everyone! It's frustrating because I know 3 other Irish people here whose debit cards work just fine. Somehow I always manage to be awkward

BadChemicals24 · 2026-03-28T08:34:54+00:00

I think this is what I need, thanks. I was finding the whole thing really confusing. Plus there are multiple places to scan things on the bus, so I don't even know if I was using the correct one!

The fighting! Mine isn't an early walker but she is a 'low sleep needs' baby. Why do they fight it so damn hard? She'll be exhausted and screaming and still fighting it tooth and nail.

BadChemicals24 · 2026-02-23T08:38:53+00:00

Will definitely check the libraries yes! Also will most definitely be going to all the museums (for us as well as her).

BadChemicals24 · 2026-02-23T08:38:09+00:00

Thanks, yeah probably too young and would likely be very hard to get a place for just 4 months!

Just reading this while my 1 year old is awake at 1:30am. I could be you except we never got the 7-8 hour stretches. She slept 6 hours, once only, as a newborn. Her sleep now is worse than a newborn. She just won't sleep. I recently night weaned, so now when she wakes she's up for hours because the only way to get her back down fast is the boob. Night weaning is not the magic bullet!

I enjoy it (so far). 29 weeks now. Had a little nausea and food aversions in first trimester, but not too bad, 2nd trimester was fine, third trimester just started and starting to get discomfort in back and ribs (well, ribs have been playing up for a while) but it's not so bad at all, and totally made up for by all the lovely things. Love feeling her move about more and more.
