The public transport system in the Netherlands is considered to be excellent. For instance, trains between Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotterdam run every ten minutes.

Other towns and villages are also easily accessible by train. Direct train connections to Belgium, Germany and France are frequent.
Be sure to buy your ticket at the ticket machine or at the counter in the train station and not in the train itself to prevent yourself from having to pay extra charges or even a fine! 

In Dutch Cities and Towns, there are several types of public transport: e.g. tram, bus and subway. They will get you almost anywhere. Public transport tickets (called ov-chipcard or strippenkaart) are for sale at places such as train stations, post offices, tobacconists and chemists. Tickets bought in a tram or bus are usually more expensive. If you regularly use the public transport system, it is preferable to buy a weekly or monthly ticket. You save money and within the limits of your ticket, you can go as you please.

And then there is always the - rather expensive - option of taking a taxi. These can be found at taxi posts and should not be hailed in the streets, although this happens occasionally in the larger cities around the hour when bars and clubs close. Official taxis can be recognized by their blue number plates; all taxis carry a taxi sign.
