Hi Armand,

In my opinion, transportation is good in Amsterdam.

Depends on the area where you live, where I live is
Transportation well developed.

Yes, I do use them.

I have never seen something strange happening inside the
Transport, for me is still safe.

A loss ticket costs 2,60 euros (valid for one hour).

Mostly I use the metro, afterwards the tram.

Do you need this for school?

Travel is fantastic in Amsterdam, the infrastructure is incredible in comparison to some cities I've visited. I use trams, busses and the metro daily and have never been late. Busses are what I use the most as I'm usualy working in the suburbs. Fare varies according to destination, but it is very reasonable. I've always found the busses to be safe, been a fairly big guy I'm not intimidated easily although I can see why some people would be when a large group of guys get on the metro late at night, but personaly have never had or seen any trouble.

Cheers

Bill
