Very convenient. However, if the volume setting on my phone is set to high, it makes a very loud cash-register ring when I buy a ticket, which is probably a bit annoying for my fellow passengers :-)

Would be great if a debit card were possible instead of only credit cards. A few more explanations for the various tickets would be nice. For instance, if I buy a short trip ticket, how many stops will it take me? Also, there is often "a problem connecting to the network". My internet connection is excellent so it must be TNW's network. Otherwise it's a darned good app. Easy to use. Very convenient.
