General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | Dutch term or phrase: aanslag (in this context) | In a text about the chipkaart (smartcard/chipcard) being introduced in Rotterdam on public transport:
Nederlandse Spoorwegen heeft aangekondigd de komende tijd ook voorstellen te doen voor nieuwe varianten van 'reizen op saldo'in samenwerking met X en Y in de regio Rotterdam, voor reizigers die van het ene bedrijf overstappen op het andere en anders te maken zouden krijgen met kosten van de 'eerste aanslag' bij het
overstappen.
X and Y are just bus companies.
Do they just mean "stop" by "aanslag"? As in, the first "stop" on their journey? It seems a strange word to use here (to me at least). |
