The trip to Roelof Hartplein went
without a hitch. On the way back to the Uithoorn tram/bus station, we were faced with a 60-minute delay due to a traffic accident. We had to wait 60 minutes in the blazing sun.

SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5The trams were always on time and ran at frequent intervals. Unfortunately, the scanner often didn't work right away. The QR code needs to be larger in Apple Wallet to be recognized at all. Scanning takes too much time and takes too long—especially on the tram. Strict checks are important and necessary, but digital codes aren’t yet the best solution for this.GGuido S
SoloVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5Public transportation is on time and very clean. However, there were some issues with the QR code on my phone screen during check-in. We briefly held up traffic because the QR code wasn’t recognized. After a few attempts, we tried a different door. At the doors with the least scratched windows, though, the scanner works on the first try. Still, it’s 100% better than in Germany.SSabine S
SoloVerified bookingJun 20264/5The GVB ticket is really great. There were four of us, but when we visited the same website to book online, we were shown three different prices. (?) We also wanted to combine our ticket with the P&R rates, but that wasn’t possible, so we had to pay the full parking fee.PPigache C
