Talk:Eindhoven

Hi! I do not really agree with the undo of my change concerning Eindhoven page. The history chapter is boring and just copypasted from wikipedia. Nobody who hascares about the middle-age. There is no trace at all of middle-age in Eindhoven! Or maybe I do not get the spirit of wiki-travel. I will use wiki-couchsurfing instead to set some info. Bigntz

deposit for bike rental
"Most common is the OV-fiets available at the train station, however these bikes can only be rented with a personal OV-chipkaart with a valid subscription. Other rentals only require a deposit."

https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/4616927

Does anyone have an idea what "Other rentals only require a deposit" means in this context?

That renting is possible without an OV-chipkaart by leaving a deposit? That renting is for free when just leaving a deposit?

I am not aware that anything of that is possible. Maybe it's meant that other bike lenders only want to have a deposit instead of an OV chipkaart. I would delete that sentence otherwise because it doesn't make sense for me.

 * Assuming that Eindhoven bike rentals are no different than those elsewhere in the country (and I don't see why they would be), this would mean that other bike rentals only require payment either in cash or by debit card (or occasionally credit card). An OV-Fiets, on the contrary, requires an OV-Chipkaart with the OV-Fiets subscription which I think is €4.50 or so nowadays, even though the card itself isn't a must-have for public transport any more. More concise information about the OV-Fiets system is currently found on Rail travel in the Netherlands. ― Wauteurz (talk) 18:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed the sentence as you suggested to avoid confusion. As @Wauteurz also mentions it is not possible to rent OV-fiets bikes without OV-chipkaart, even if you pay a deposit. 2A02:A210:A1C1:500:BAFF:80D4:B280:EE41 11:29, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
