There are also thirty bus lines in the city. The bus is most suitable for travelling from the Central Station to neighbourhoods which are further from the city centre and to Amsterdam North. You board the bus at the front and show the driver your ticket. If you do not yet have a valid ticket, you can buy one from him.
Tickets for city and regional travel are always cheaper when bought in advance!
Night lines
Buses also run at night on nine different routes in the city, hourly during the week and half-hourly at the weekend. The night buses to and from the Zuidoost neighbourhood run half-hourly throughout the week. In addition to an ordinary strip ticket, you must also buy a supplement ticket for two guilders before travelling on the night bus.
All local night buses run from or via the Central Station. This is the central changing point. These take account of connections with other night lines of the GVB, night trains run by the NS (Dutch railways) and (night) regional transport. If possible the buses wait for buses on another night line arriving slightly later. Line 71 crosses a number of other night lines and is therefore a good one to use for changing from one line to another. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

How to Use the Trams:
At the many tram stops around the city you should hail a tram to signal you want to get on. Press the button near the door to open it. If the tram has a conductor you must use the rear door to board. Press one of the red STOP buttons inside the tram to signal the driver that you want to get off at the next stop. Press the button near the door to open it when the tram has stopped
For information regarding the tram, bus, and metro, call tel 0900/9292 Monday to Saturday from 6am to midnight and Sunday from 7am to midnight. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The Bus leaves from the Bus Station near Central Station. If you are standing facing the Station, then its the bus station to the right. Here you will find the Buses and signs of where they are going.
For good value BUY THE WATERLAND TICKET.
It lasts you a whole day covering the Waterland area. You can get on and off the bus as much as you want, as long as you keep using the "Arriva" Bus company.
The Waterland Ticket offered by the Arriva bus company provides the opportunity to visit all these towns by bus, not only Volendam and Marken, but also beautiful places inland, such as Edam, Broek in Waterland, Monnickendam and the Beemster (a World Heritage site!). And don't forget the market and shopping city of Purmerend.
The day I bought the ticket, I went to Edam, then onto Hoorn and back to Amsterdam.
You buy the ticket from the Driver as you get on the Bus, and just show to each driver at your new destinations when boarding the Bus.
Cost in 2009 was 7euro FOR A TICKET FOR THE WHOLE DAY.
"ARRIVA" BUS COMPANY
There are family passes available as well.

 the tram is the best in
Amsterdam by kilat
** At night there are no trams or metro's. You can take a nightbus, but they don't drive often and there are just a few of them.
** They start around 03.00 0'clock. You can't use the "strippenkaart", you have to buy a ticket from the driver.

..........the buses do.
Generally the Amsterdam bus system takes you further afield into the suburbs than the tram system and is shared by GVB and Arriva buses, though tickets are valid on both. As with the tram system most routes radiate out from Centraal Station with GVB having the "pole position" as it were and seem to have the most popular routes - it would be interesting to see their relative accounts!!
Ticketing system is exactly the same as the trams - "strippenkaarts" or day passes. Leave a Comment Theme: BusPhone: 0900 8011Website: www.gvb.nl Other Contact: www.arriva.nl

I found the schedules to be easy to follow and the buses easy to navigate. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The high capacity buses are pretty good and charge reasonably. Thr good thing is that they ply as night service even after 12 (every hour) when the trams have stopped.
The bus stop at Centraal Station is right next to tram station but make sure you stand at the right place. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
