OV-chip card:

In the Netherlands all public transport services can be paid via the OV-chip card. This is a smartcard with which you can check-in and check-out at the available check-in and check-out devices.

In train and metro: you check-in and check-out at the stations.
In all other modes: you check-in and check-out at the vehicles.

Note that a check-out is required. Otherwise you pay the maximum possible tariff, which is probably more than you are supposed to pay.

Upon registration at the registration desk of CASPT, you will receive a rechargeable OV-chipkaart with 10 euros balance on it. So, when traveling to CASPT, we advise you to buy a “single-use ticket” for the trains of Netherlands Railways and a “1 hour tram/bus pass” (3 euro) or “2 hour travel pass” (3,50 euro) for the Rotterdam public transport operator RET.

More info about train tickets can be found at the tariff page of Netherlands Railways.
Note that for the train you may also buy an e-ticket in advance via this website.
More info about tickets for the Rotterdam public transport system can be found at the tariff page of RET.
