The tourist office staffperson gave me directions in readiness for heading out from my hostel to the flower markets at Aalsmeer for the next morning as having to catch a bus from Liedesplein - which i did - ie the 171 and i did enjoy the walk and sights of the early morning from my hostel near the red light district up to Liedesplein - but i of course came to realise that the 171 and 172 actually go to and from Centraal Station.
which was ideal for heading off from Centraal Station to catch a train out of town to Alkmaar.
The buses are pretty much on time and are quite frequent at at least every half an hour. There is a timetable at the bus stop outside the Aalsmeer flower market centre.
There were some excellent examples of Dutch architectural design along the route.
