I've just been to Amsterdam for a long weekend.The trams are
frequent and punctual but the ticketing arrangements are a nightmare.I think I'm reasonably intelligent but I couldn't get to grips with the complexities of the system.
You get a very long strip of tickets to start with incorporating many zones(or is it 1?) You hand the first ticket to the conductor when you get on board or is it when you change zones?I think you hand the last ticket in when you get off or does it last another day or possibly week?
There are many more ifs and buts about these tickets but I can't remember them.
My advice; walk or use one of the 16 million bikes that are
bombing around the city
