Travelling in Maastricht, the Netherlands?

Question

So, I'm gonna be a student at Maastricht university and now I am searching for a place to live. I found a few websites for accommodation but now I want to check how far away they are from the university. For this I need a website where you enter Street, Number. from the place you are and Street, Number. of the place you wanna go, enter time, and then the site shows you possible bus and tram connections and the approximate time it takes. I know such websites for Germany, but since my Dutch is level 0, I have no idea how to find them for Maastricht. Please help!

Answer 1

Enter the postcode here (1234 AB format) and it gives you all the lines and times to Maastricht University; http://www.reiswijzer.nl/vraag.asp?klant=2006071402&KlantPC=6211LK&Huisnr=4-6

this is an excellent Dutch routeplanner with detailed street maps; http://route.anwb.nl

some other handy links;

http://www.telefoongids.nl/ is the Dutch phonebook

Answer 2

Without knowing Dutch you can use the site http://www.9292ov.nl/. Some help:
adres = address
straat = street
plaats = place
treinstation = trainstation
datum = date
tijd = time
vertrek = departure, aankomst = arrival
"geef resiadvies" = "give advice about the trip"
Ignore the rest.
The result is that you see your schedule. NS stands for the trains. You buy traintickets at the station and bustickets you can buy in advance at sigarette-shops or the little shops for candy and coffee at the trainstation. The bustickets are called "strippenkaarten".
