THIS is Amsterdam. Better than that: THIS is your new job. You are a GVB bus driver now! As a bus driver, you will meet all kinds of people all day, every day.

One of our bus drivers even calls it the “GVB Village”. A place where people know each other's name. Think: traffic control, team management, planners and of course colleagues on the vehicles.
