Busses are not common used by tourists. Inside Amsterdam, you better take the tram, because they go more often.
** 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.

A cheap way to get to see the Waterland area which is between 15 - 20 kms from Amsterdam (Broek in Waterland, Edam, Volendam, Hoorn, Monnickendam, Purmerend & Beemster (a World Heritage site) is by the Bus.
The buses run from the upper terminal on the Ij (water/ferry side) of central station.
The Ticket lasts 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 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 2011.........Waterland day ticket costs €7.50
.............................. Family day card for €12 - valid for 2 adults and up to 3 children and/or seniors after 0900.
"ARRIVA" BUS COMPANY
For good value BUY THE WATERLAND TICKET.

..........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.

Another part of the superbly integrated transport system in the Netherlands is the bus service.Buses are clean and reasonably priced with frequent services to so many places both around the larger cites and also to the smaller more isolated places.
Check out the GVB website for routes prices and timetables:all this information could make your visit so much more enjoyable!

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.

If you come by car its hard to get a free or even a cheap parking place in the centre of Amsterdam. Also the seroundings of Amsterdam are not cheap. Best is to park you car in Amstelveen or an other place close to Amsterdam and get the bus to Amsterdam.

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.
