Grey Interliners at Den Haag Centraal station

Interliner is an express bus system in the Netherlands. In this country the backbone of public transport is the railroad system, and buses are used complementarily. While most bus lines have many stops and are for small distances, Interliner buses travel longer distances with fewer stops, where one can not go by train, or where travel by train would require a considerable detour.

For example they connect:

North Holland to the northeast using the Afsluitdijk
Rotterdam to three islands in the southwest using a tunnel, two dams and a bridge
Drachten (which is not connected by a railroad)
Lelystad to the north through the Noordoostpolder
Groningen to Emmen.

Uniformity has been abandoned with part of the system being renamed Q-Liner (Arriva) and a distinction between grey and green interliner.
