On: What services or apps did you see abroad and wonder: why don't we have them?

In The Netherlands you just tap your card when you get in and when you get out. the fare is computed based on how many stops you went. No app needed. Supports all the virtual cards too like apple pay etc...

Frankly the Swiss system is far superior.

The Netherlands has a great train system except for the god damn turnstiles blocking the entrance to the train station.

They are not needed.

FWIW I live in Switzerland and work a lot in Netherlands.

dumb question but what happens if you forget to tap out ?

You likely get charged from where you got on to the end of the route.

Couldn't you leave with a friend have your friend get off at the next stop they scan both cards while you travel the entire route?

Sure but scenarios like those are a rounding error
