I am impressed with the transport system in this country. I was wondering how can they manage everything in such a way? They really try to keep the quality of their public services. Time becomes an important thing in this situation. You can plan your journey anywhere precisely. You can even estimate what time should you leave your house when you have an appointment at let say 10 am. Other informations like which bus or train should you take, which halte should you stop, also how long it takes to walk from the halte to your friend's house also can be estimated. All of these information you can easily get from the website. NS (Nederlands Spoorwegen) has an official website where you can find everything you need for your journey an very simple way. And believe me that you will hardly find such a delay for your journey (ga ada tuh cerita kereta ekonomi ngalah karena ada kereta express mo lewat).
At the same time I write this, I remember Jakarta. The most busiest city in my country. Everything there is in an opposite way as here. However I realize that I love my country more. I miss the crowdedness of Slipi more. I miss bajaj, ojek, bis ngetem, mikrolet 09 which are very easy to find, doesn't matter how late I am, doesn't matter what day it is. Lebih milih dianter tukang ojek depan kantor yg bisa ngebut dan "menyesuaikan" rute dengan kadar kemacetan.
