Public Transit in the Netherlands

Submitted by Spencer Sorensen on the 2024 Winter ENGL program in Netherlands…

This past week on my study abroad in the Netherlands we have done a lot of travel. During this trip we have used several different forms of public transit, which has been an enlightening experience. We take the Arnhem city bus to class everyday, these buses are much cleaner than in America and have lanes on the road dedicated for them so they don’t get caught in traffic. A group of students also spent a bit of time in Amsterdam. It was a fun experience to figure out the train system to get from Arnhem to Amsterdam. Then when we were in Amsterdam we spent our time using trams – a small form of transit that is like in between a train and a bus. (Submitted on January 23, 2024)
