Amsterdam municipal transport maintains a historical fleet of buses and
trams.  The first in cooperation with MUSA and SVA (both foundations to
maintain historical bus fleets, they also maintain their own fleets from
Amsterdam transport and other operators), the latter under its own subsidiary
AOM (the old name until 1900).  The main attraction of the bus fleet is
a bus from 1939 that has been restored completely (although it normally
does not run, only on very special occasions).  Others include buses
from 1955/1956, including one of the two artics from that time.  The
buses run on occasion and are accesible.  The tram fleet covers almost
any type of tram used from about 1930.  Here the main attraction is a
tram from 1913.  The trams all run pretty regularly and are accessible.
