Amsterdam offers you, apart from the well known museums and historic places, another great possibility to enjoy your stay. It has three unique public transport museums which own, maintain and keep running a beautiful collection of historic trams, buses and ferry boats. For this purpose the Amsterdam Public Transport Museum (AOM), the Electric Museum Tram line of Amsterdam (RETM/EMA), and the Museum for Regional and City buses (MUSA) work closely together.  

The old and restored ferry boats, called IJ-veren in Dutch are the IJveer XI and XIII are used for tours, for parties and individuals. The IJveer X1 is tall and can be hired for a company outing up to 80 persons, the IJ-veer XIII for 60 persons, with or without catering. If you like to rent one of these boats for a business or private outing, please call the Captain 0031 (0)6 28652430 (from the States and Canada 01131 6 28652430.

The Electric Museum Tram line (Museumtramlijn) operates classic trams for a 8 kms (5 miles) day trip due South out of Amsterdam. Thousands of passengers ride the trams because they are classic, while others just travel to spend a day in the naturally layed-out Woodland Park. The trams were all built between 1915 and 1949. They served in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Vienna, Prague and Graz.

We look forward to see you soon in one of our historic vehicles!

                                  

Amsterdam Bus Museum - MUSA 

During the early seventies, buses dating from the fifties were being rapidly withdrawn from service in The Netherlands. Those 'classics' were doomed to disappear in oblivion forever. Their tuneful AEC, Kromhout or Leyland engines would never be heard again.

Convinced that some of this industrial heritage had to be saved, an Amsterdam initiative started in 1975 to preserve some of those typical buses from the fifties. A trust was formed, called MUSA (i.e. Amsterdam Bus Museum). Luckily, within its first year MUSA succeeded in preserving several buses from the fifties. Later, buses dating from more recent times were collected. Today some 25 buses have been preserved.

By making selective choices, MUSA has built up a representative collection. MUSA's fleet illustrates the development of Dutch city and regional buses from the thirties right into the eighties. They illustrate perfectly the technical achievements in bygone days, being an excellent tribute to the work of our predecessors.
