Variety and dynamics

A wink to the toddler who steps into your tram with wonder. A signal to the tourist who doesn't realize they've already reached their destination. It's the little things that count. Things that make passengers happy, and give you a pleasant workday. Perhaps you consider it quite normal with your customer focus. Our passengers find it special! No day is the same, every journey is different. Yes, this is Amsterdam. Even better: this is your new job. Because you are a tram driver at GVB!

Daily you have a lot of contact with all sorts of different people. Tourists, commuters, schoolchildren, day-trippers of diverse backgrounds and ages board. All on their way to their own destination. And you help them get there. You do this in a hospitable and friendly manner, acting professionally of course, but with enough room for a personal touch.

A tram driver is never alone

As a tram driver, you never really work alone. Often you work with a tram conductor. Together you are a team and you ensure that the journey runs smoothly. In addition, a whole team stands by your side. Think of traffic control, the management team, planners, and of course other fellow tram drivers and conductors. You meet them on the road and during your breaks at one of the 'endpoints' in the city. We are proud of this team spirit, which allows us to enjoy working together to create an accessible Amsterdam.
