A short break staying in Eindhoven included time to see something of the Dutch transport ‘scene’.
We found the Dutch people very wellcoming, very helpful and the vast majority speak good English.
The principal transport operator, wholly owned by the City of Amsterdam is
‘Gemeentelijk Vervoerbedrijf’ (GVB) who operate on rail, road and water.
BX-VZ-20 ‘GVB’ No. 364. Mercedes-Benz Citaro Articulated

It looks like a normal double deck bus but it is a convertible open topper only the first bay has a fixed roof.

BZ-BL-88 ‘Munckhof’, Amsterdam. No. 212. VDL / Berkhof

Interestingly, this coach carries ‘Volvo’ branding behind the door which probably dates from the time that Volvo marketed the VDL SB120 because at that time, Volvo had nothing in its own range that fitted the bill.
