[1][2] The museum's collection consists of dozens of historic trams, several buses and two metro trains.

Various merchandise such as postcards, refrigerator magnets and books are for sale in the museum shop.

One of the tasks of the Rotterdam Public Transport Museum is to manage and maintain all of the RET's historical rolling stock.

The costs for maintenance are financed from municipal subsidies, donations, rental trips and entrance fees.

In spring and summer and part of autumn, the historic trams run through the city centre of Rotterdam on weekends, and sometimes on Thursdays and Fridays, under the name Citytour Line 10.

Tourists can ride along for a fee and receive information about the various sights they pass along the way like the Euromast and Cube house.
