Transport service

The Dutch transportation is very well organized. The roads are smooth and structured; cyclists have their own cycle paths; public transportation is good and easy to use.

When arriving in a new country, it is good to know the basic road rules. The Netherlands can be very hectic and is a full country with lots of traffic. Bikes, cars, busses, taxis will all use the same streets and lanes.
