Can a one way NS Ticket be used as an OV-Chipkaart for P+R Parking in Amsterdam?
I will be flying to Amsterdam in a few weeks, renting a car, and then driving to Germany. On my arrival day, I have a few hours before checking into my hotel and am considering dropping the car off at a P+R lot, taking the NS Train into the city centre (hotel is near Sloterdijk) and exploring the city.
On the City of Amsterdam P+R website, parking in a P+R spot is only €1 on weekends, but requires an OV-Chipkaart upon exit to qualify for the discount. Seeing as how I'll only need one ticket to enter the city, and one ticket to get back to my car, it seems unnecessary to get either the personal or the anonymous OV-Chipkaart.
Will my one-way (or return) NS Train ticket count as an OV-Chipkaart at the exit machine for the P+R parking lot?
Thanks.

Checking in You must always check in and out with an OV-chipkaart. At the start of your journey, hold your card against the screen on a gate or card reader. Your card will be checked to ensure you have a valid travel product or sufficient credit. Then the gate will open, or the card reader will beep to confirm.How do I get an OV chipcard?
An anonymous OV-chipkaart is valid for four to five years....You can purchase an anonymous OV-chipkaart at:Can you park OV?
You will be issued a P+R parking ticket. Buy a P+R public transport ticket (OV) from the GVB vending machine in the car park. If you have a personal OV chip card, you can use that card as well. The tickets issued are only valid on the GVB network, not on the Connexxion buses!PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE NETHERLANDS | OV chipkaart \u0026 NS Flex explained | Amsterdam budget tips
