| Amsterdam
2000 Blue is the colour |
 |
 |
| Since the early
1970's Amsterdam has always been associated with yellow trams and
buses. However in 1999, everything changed.
Suddenly the local buses were blue, the urban buses were blue and even
the trams were blue ! Seen in January 2000 are: top left
Connexxion 2371 (BH-SX-53), a Daf/Berkhof, at Schipol Airport; top
right tram 686 near Concertplein; and bottom GVB 173
(BH-JG-29), a gas powered DAF/Jonckheere, at Amstel Station. |

Notes |
 | Connexxion are an amalgamation of the main non-privatised
companies in the Netherlands (namely NZH, ZWN and Midnet).
The Netherlands has a history of separating and joining companies
together. |
| The tram livery before 1970 was a dull grey, but
originally it was dark blue, as worn by the tourist trams that run
at the Amsterdam Tram Museum. |
