In 2019, approximately 5.2 million trips were made with the shared bicycles. The number of journeys by OV-fiets dropped in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel in the Nehterlands was partially restricted. Journeys fell to 3.1 million in 2020 and increased slightly to 3.4 million in 2021. OV-fiets (loosely translated: public transport bicycle) is a bicycle sharing platform owned and controlled by the Nationale Spoorwegen (national railways), more commonly known as NS.
