I will be staying at the Element Amsterdam, which is located in the Zuid area. I see that if I park at a P+R, I need to travel further into the town centre before I can turn around and head back to the Zuid area. In order to get the great P+R parking rate, will I need to use a one transit ticket just to get from the P+R into town, and then a separate one to head out to the Zuid area?
