connexxion bus from AMS into city, morning rush hour - slow?
Will be trying the bus (197) from Schiphol into the city later this week, leaving AMS at about 9am - according to the 9292 app, it should take around 30 minutes into the Rijksmuseum, but I am wondering if that it still accurate at that time in the morning, or if I need to allow extra for rush hour.
Anyone with experience to share?
thanks

The local commuter train ride to Centraal station is about 15 minutes and leaves every few minutes from AMS. From Centraal station, you can take one of many trams to the Rijksmuseum. Not long at all. Do you just prefer buses and a one-seat ride?

Analise - I just don't want to have to lock up eur20 on a chipkaart
And actually the bus is just as quick as train + tram, anyway
ERJ-12B - thanks for the comment

Anyway, just reporting back to say that the bus was probably quicker than scheduled, and also not too busy. Very easy indeed, and one I will use again in preference to train/tram.
