My graduation topic is the robustness of public transportation networks. The research is performed at and in cooperation with Stadsregio Amsterdam, the transport authority for the city region of Amsterdam. First of all I want to thank all the colleagues of Stadsregio Amsterdam for the warm welcome in the organisation and the sincere interest of them in my research and me as a person. Second, I would like to thank the municipality of Amsterdam for delivering the data I needed and the GVB for the valuable information given during the interviews.
