Do you guys like trains and do you also use it? I go to work with the train daily. For me it's most convenient as it's only a seven minute train ride to my work whereas it would take about 30 minutes if I would take the car to work (because of the longer car ride and the need to park far away from the work place and catch a shuttle bus from the parking place). Some years ago we even got rid of our car and since then we only (have to) rely on public transport. But it's simply a matter of planning ahead to find suitable connections on trains, trams and buses. How about you, what's your daily hassle to get work? ;-)
Greetings from Amsterdam, Guido

@ David: you mentioned one reason why I also love to take the train to work, you have some time to read or doze off in the few minutes... one aspect I havent' mentioned though is the constant annoyance that the dutch railways' (NS) product is not the best what you would hope for. Their trains regularly have delays, if there is a slight problem with the weather you can almost rely on dutch railways to make it their problem as well... ;-) I also do not like their schedules... their first train on a sunday morning from my stop to the airport (where I work) is a quarter after 6 in the morning, can you imagine? Much too late for people and not worthy of a city like Amsterdam I would say. But hey, that's just my personal small view on the big NS.
