Public transport will also continue, which means that buses will simply drive back and forth. “Otherwise no one will come to visit you,” says bus driver Jan before he drives on again. “People feel sorry, but are also extra happy that you are working,” notes colleague Mark.

Fortunately, everyone who speaks NH also has plans to celebrate Christmas with family. Mark: “I work until 5.40 pm and then I go straight to my father. Join the gourmet with the whole family!”
