NS joins Monday morning’s public transit strike

The strike means that there will be no train, bus, tram or subway traffic in Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam for the first part of morning rush hour on Monday. That is why we hope that the public and travelers understand the action.” Travelers’ association Rover calls the strike disproportionate. “In this case the strike is not even about public transport, but about pensions”, director Freek Bos said to AD.
