In Amsterdam and throughout the Netherlands, residents use the National public transport chip card (named: OV-chipkaart) for traveling on trams, buses, metros and trains. It is also possible for visitors to purchase an OV-chipkaart, but we advise not to do that.
We recommend tourists to use one of the above mentioned cards. These are generally easier to buy, and moreover usually cheaper.
