Greetings are important, and a simple “Bon dia” (Good morning) is appreciated. We use “Bon Tardi” for the afternoon and “Bon Nochi” in the evening… Also on monday morning you also greet with “Bon Siman” which means have a great week :).

10-20% tipping is appreciated but not mandatory.

Yes, (small) busses connect major areas, but they may not follow a strict schedule, ABC Busbedrijf is a great app to check out the schedules and routes.
