The bus line I mentioned in my comment for example is run by Connexxion, a nationally operating bus company. | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:40 | comment | added | Relaxed | @BurhanKhalid GVB is a municipal company operating tram, busses, a metro and ferries in Amsterdam. NS is the historical/national train company. So a GVB day pass is only valid on the GVB network, a NS yearly card is only valid on the NS network but if you travel using the credit (as opposed to a special product like a single trip or a day pass) on an OV-chipkaart you can use a card from either of them on the other network. I will try to clarify my answer on this point. | |
| Oct 16, 2014 at 20:12 | comment | added | Burhan Khalid | This may be a dumb question; but is GVB and NS two different companies or the names of the trains? So NS is the train from the airport to the city center (does not accept GVB); and then GVB is the name of the trams + buses within Amsterdam and they accept the day pass. Is that correct? | |

| Oct 16, 2014 at 11:41 | comment | added | jwenting | @BurhanKhalid GVB service starts 1 train stop away from Amsterdam (though most people take the train all the way to the city center, it's faster and more convenient). They USED TO sell combined tickets, but no more. There is bus service: bus197.nl but it requires a separate ticket as well (which can be purchased from the driver). | |

| Oct 16, 2014 at 9:25 | comment | added | Burhan Khalid | So you need two things, the NS ticket and the GVB card? I thought the GVB card was used to pay for the journey? | |
