International Bus Lines in Netherlands
The Netherlands does not have a national bus (coach) line. Rather, several international bus companies provide service to larger Dutch cities like Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht…
Unlike local bus transportation, which is administered by public provincial boards (except for Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague which are at the municipal level), long-distance international bus (coach) services are operated by private companies.

The coaches offer such amenities as an onboard toilet, WiFi, charging ports and reclining seats.
