A1 Collocation ニュートラル

De bus nemen.

Taking the bus.

意味

Using public transport.

🌍

文化的背景

The 'OV-chipkaart' is the soul of taking the bus. You must 'inchecken' when you enter and 'uitchecken' when you leave, or you will be charged a high 'instaptarief'. Buses are operated by 'De Lijn'. It is common to see people waiting in very orderly lines at bus stations in cities like Antwerp or Ghent. Students in the Netherlands get a 'Studenten-OV', which allows them to take the bus for free during the week or weekend. This makes 'de bus nemen' the primary social transport for young people. In small villages, 'buurtbussen' (neighborhood buses) are driven by volunteers. Taking these buses is a very social experience where everyone knows the driver.

💡
