Getting around: town, bike, travel
Finding your way in town, train and bus, the bike and cycling traffic, the car and somewhere to stay.
What holds these lists together
Getting around in the Netherlands often means two wheels, and there is a list of its own for that: de fiets, het fietspad, de fietsenstalling and the rule about who has right of way. Beside it stand platform and timetable, stop and change. Dutch is precise about how you go: lopen means to walk, not to run, rijden is for a car and a bike alike, and gaan always fits. The lists run from the town map to the garage and a room for the night.
For example: de stad (town, city), de reis (journey, trip), het fietspad (the cycle path), het rijbewijs (driving licence), boeken (to book)
