City overview
Regional buses travel in and around the city and their time tables are available at the airport and at every street corner. The Express Service Buses have fewer stops than other buses. Holland also has a service called the Interliner, which is used for longer distances and is similar to America's Greyhound Buses.
The tram and the subway system are other means of traveling and enjoyment as it gives tourists a view of the city from a different angle (The Hague and GVB Companies offer tram services). These transport services begin functioning at 6 a.m. and operate until midnight. It is better to have a 'stripcard' incase you have to travel a lot which is better than buying tickets every time you want to use these services.
The taxi system in Holland is the same as everywhere else; you may book it in advance or catch one on the street. They have blue license plates with black letters and digits and have the word TAXI on top of the roof. Taxi stands are visible at quite a few tourist places such as Leidseplein, Dam Square and Central Station.
