Comprehensive, up-to-date information about public transport to and from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. You can travel by train, bus, taxi, Uber, hotel-shuttle, or private transfer.
The Noord/Zuidlijn is a fact. After countless delays and huge cost overruns, the controversial metro line is finally in service.
However, it remains controversial. To ‘encourage’ use of the new line the city’s public transport network has been drastically overhauled. Many Amsterdammers will have to transfer more often, but — says the transportation company — will save time in the process.
Amsterdam Central Station is the hub of city. It faces the center of town, and all the top attractions are within easy reach by public transport — bus, tram, and metro. Some sights are actually within walking distance
The taxi rank is at the back of the station. Upstairs — on the same level as the train tracks — is a bus terminal that provides fantastic panoramic views of the river IJ. The blue and white ferries you see there will ferry you across the river for free.
Includes a map of Central Station.
Dutch Railways (NS Nederlandse Spoorwegen) earn millions of Euros by duping tourists who travel from Schiphol Amsterdam Airport to Central Station into buying First Class tickets.
NS claims that’s what tourists want, but according to the VVV Tourist Office — which also sells train tickets at the airport — tourists usually elect to buy Second Class tickets.
Amsterdam’s public transport firm GVB is using Chippendales in a promotional campaign for its new, chip-based ticket system.
The smart card will soon replace the old ticket system, starting with the subway lines.
The company’s price hikes are leading many travelers to complain that while while the Chippendales will not be stripping, the company’s customers are being stripped.
Police in Amsterdam has for the first time patrolled a public transport bus while they were wearing civilian clothes instead of their uniforms.
Nineteen school children were apprehended for misbehavior, including threats against fellow passengers.
Over the past year Holland has seen a wave of attacks against public transport workers.
It is unclear whether constuction on the new North-South line of the Amsterdam metro will ever be completed.
After yet another financial setback work on the project has virtually halted — and today Tjeerd Herrema, Alderman for Traffic, Transport and Infrastructure, today resigned from his position.
