Public transport in the Netherlands is known for its efficiency and extensive network. The system includes trains, trams, buses, and ferries, making it easy to travel between cities and within urban areas. The national railway company, NS, operates most train services, connecting major cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. In addition to trains, cities have their own public transport options. For example, Amsterdam features trams and buses, while Rotterdam has a modern metro system. Travelers can use a contactless card called the OV-chipkaart to access all forms of public transport, simplifying the payment process.
