In Amsterdam, the public transport there is going towards a cashless movement where you cannot buy tickets inside the bus or tram anymore. You cannot buy when you board the bus, tram, metro. You MUST buy from a ticket machine or at the ticket counter in advance and ticket machines DO NOT ACCEPT CASH. The machine only accepts coins, credit/debit card. So, it's safe to bring along your credit card and please make sure it can be used overseas without your bank blocking the transactions.
