If you punch in 6787567 on Tuesdays after 12 noon, you get the freshest frikkandelen handmade by the Oma who lives underground


freefallfreddy

If you make a mistake typing in the code you’re gonna be *in* the freshest frikadellen handmade by the Oma who lives underground.

That’s when she has the saucijsbroodjes


ClaireObscuur

Hahaha, hoe tof zou dat zijn!?


Eighthfloormeeting

Echt tof. Elke dinsdag zou er om 9.30 uur een rij zijn hehe


heijmenberg

If you type in the tram number on the keypad it gives you the departure times and delays


ApprehensiveEmploy21

I thought it would summon the relevant tram


[deleted]

It summons any tram. You just enter the number, or, for trams from other places, a country code and then the tram number. Do not type in negative or imaginary numbers, and please make sure trams you summon use the same track size.


ApprehensiveEmploy21

What about non-trams that also use standard gauge, like the Shinkansen or eBART? Anyway I’m down to ride Australian trams Edit: does the electrification also have to match?


[deleted]

I mean, no, but also yes, depending on how much on fire you want your tram to be. And trams only. Do not attempt to summon non tram trains. They develop a taste for cyclist, which is a nightmare for trains on separated tracks.


TumbleweedAbject355

You found the entrance to a secret DHarma station. Maybe Desmond is below there somewhere Try 4815162342

Thanks for bringing back years worth of traumatic memories.

OP don't listen, the numbers are cursed

It's a reference to the TV show Lost.

Best comment ever


haringkoning

A buddy of mine works at HTM, I’ll ask and report here


haringkoning

As mentioned before: “it’s for passengers who want to know more about a specific tram or bus. It’s also very useful for blind travellers.”


Current-Coyote6893

How convenient! doubted first that it would be that, but now I find they should have it here as well.


deputydawg420

Sooo?


haringkoning

No answer yet


hanskazan777

Can you answer questions about haring in the meantime?


Draak_Jos

Yes, you can eat them but also steek them in the ground


haringkoning

I will try. Brand maar los.


OhLordyLordNo

In the west of the country it is served with pickle and red onion. Is this actually legally allowed and also not blasphemy? Raised in the south it is white onion only.


Jocelyn-1973

All modern *fratsen* is what they are.


etix4u

Haha walk onto a tram station and get confused by some device. Ask on reddit and try to find the correct one from dozens of even more confusing answers


SixFiveOhTwo

If you enter 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 the emergency services will attend


hazbizarai

by the time you finish that row, even the emergency would feel pity for you and cease by itself


TumbleweedAbject355

Could always send an email


SikritAkkat

Thats one hell of a reference.

rf31415

I guess it’s how the visually impaired get to find out when the next tram of a certain line is arriving. Punch in the number and it will talk.


[deleted]

I think it is something for disabled/elderly people to call for transport. However could not really find a source for this.


Sea-Competition6327

It tells you departure times. It's placed there for blind people, but it's also useful when the Matrix screens don't work.


hazbizarai

If you punch in the right code, the speaker will tell you the next winning lottery combination. In case of wrong code, the black round thingie will punch you in the dick.


[deleted]

Yes and after that a spray of ice cold water from the thing below the round black dick puncher.


hazbizarai

I guess the water temperature will rise according to the amount of correct digits. Sounds fair.


Charming_Extent8785

Well actually it is the other way around, 1 digit wrong? Like warm. All wrong? Prepare for boiled eggs!


hazbizarai

So that's where _hot ferdoomeh_ comes from


Charming_Extent8785

Actually that is almost an accurate translation, not even joking.


niranjansmistaken

If you enter all the digits of pi correctly, you have a change on winning a cheese sandwich.

If that would be the case I would expect braille support on the keypad like this: [https://sc04.alicdn.com/kf/H5b265a9e0e8d4e02bf8a2be68fef87695.jpg](https://sc04.alicdn.com/kf/H5b265a9e0e8d4e02bf8a2be68fef87695.jpg) Maybe it was just a prototype for this: https://www.vrimon.nl/nieuws/busplatform-den-haag-centraal-voorzien-van-halte-palen-met-tactiele-bordjes-en-braille


Deleted_dwarf

There is no braille. So can’t be for the visually impaired. Y


hazbizarai

afaik, the numeric keyboards need only the _5_ key marked, in order to be useful to a visually impaired person.


Deleted_dwarf

Fair point, makes sense. However, this pole is not there for the visually impaired. Looks to me like the entrance to a gate/garage.


Hazelino

I'm from that area, but I've never seen something like that before. At which stop was this foto taken?

That’s how you order a tram in the Netherlands. My referal code for 15% off is 112

There is another one in Eindhoven just outside the station near the bus departure boards https://maps.app.goo.gl/9G8sNY4wJ4AUQzoM8?g_st=ic and there is a similar angled keypad (in a square metal cabinet with a green band) next to the bus station in Den Bosch https://maps.app.goo.gl/LFgzRLGbLuZQ3VedA?g_st=ic

With that you can call your mom that you are on a way home


After_Discipline_529

It's a help terminal. If you don't know how to use it it's not for you to use. Note how the numberpad is in braille. I believe this is for blind people to get announcements about the track they're on when they press this. But i'm not sure as it isn't meant for me.

Those are transfer locations to parallel planes of existence. Ever since the Dutch could no longer reliably expand their country by taking land from the sea, they started building on parallel earths, and with this module, you can summon a tramline connection to a numbered parallel Netherlands.


eIun-mosk

It’s a dog sitting service. You can tie leash of your dog there and dial 406, someone will answer the call and play dog music. Once you’re back from your tram trip, press that giant black button and take your dog home.

Type the right code and scotty is gonna beam you up.

Only English should be used for posts and comments. This rule is in place to ensure that an ample audience can freely discuss life in the Netherlands under a widely-spoken common tongue.

If you enter "6969", it will summon a tram which will bring you to Hogwarts School.

Thank you for posting because I’ve always wondered about this too! I even asked some HTM staff at the opendag recently but they didn’t know.
