 The Amsterdam Metro by Paul2001 I only took the metro system of Amsterdam out to the Arena Stadium and back and I was very impressed. It was clean and efficient. The metro consists of three lines and I think that they are building another. However if you do not intend upon leaving the city centre of Amsterdam, there is little likely hood that you will use this system. It was designed with commuters in mind rather than for tourism. A single ticket for the metro is a whopping 3 Euros but this gets you a ride for at least 1.5hrs where you can tranfer onto either a tram or bus. If the cost seems expensive, consider that you can purchase a 24 hour, 48 hour and 72 hour ticket for a much more reasonable cost of 6.30 Euros, 10.00 Euros and 13.00 Euros. Tickets are available at each metro station. You have to punch your ticket at a machine upon boarding. There are also kiosk throughout the city were you can buy tickets. The website posted below is one of the best that I have ever visited concerning city transport. It even has an English page.

by acemj Much of the Amsterdam Metro system is actually above ground, and you won't notice as many underground stations as in many other cities. The stations, for the most part, are boring, concrete structures, but taking the metro is an efficient way to see the city if you're in a hurry or if the weather isn't great. Personally, I'd rather stay above ground and take to the beautiful canal lined streets at a leisurely pace. Make sure you validate your ticket onboard the train. Leave a Comment

ALL the metrolines in Amsterdam are stopping at the same places in Amsterdam-centre: **1 Central Station (startingpoint: every metro-line goes to the south) **2 Nieuwmarkt (an old part of Amsterdam) **3 Waterlooplein (Waterloo-square, close to the market) **4 Weesperplein (close to the "Magere brug", the small beautifull bridge) **5 Wibautstraat **6 Amstelstation (after Amstelstation: the different lines take different routes) You only have to look after, is what way you want to go, to the north (Central Station), or to the south of the centre (every other station). ** From Central Station till Amstelstation will only take 7-10 minutes. ** The first metro goes around 06.15 o'clock (saterdays 06.45; sundays 07.45), the last metro goes around 00.30 (every day). On holidays: same as on sundays. (timetable spring 2008) Theme: Subway/Metro

 metro-sneltram-amsterdam by RoyJava Exploring Amsterdam could be dramatic when driving your car around. Better go by foot, rent a bike or take the public transport, includes the Metro. There are only 4 Metro lines (50/Ring-line - 51/Amstelveen-line - 53/Gaasperplas-line, 54/Gein-line), includes the "Sneltram", a fast-going tramway underground ... Plan Your Journey Leave a Comment

Amsterdam Metro system is not really a true Metro system in that the majority of lines run overground with only the central sections (strangely enough around Centraal Station) actually running underground. The Metro system has 4 lines, with a fifth currently under construction, allowing a rapid transit system out into the suburbs especially during peak periods. Of the 4 present lines, 3 run from Centraal Station - lines 51,53 and 54 to Westwijk, Gaasperplas and Gein respectively; whilst line 50 runs from from Isolatorweg via Sloterdijk out to the A10 ring road and Gein. As with the tram and bus system ticketing comes under the same integrated system and tickets are interchangable.

 Sign to follow for Metro and Fast-tram by Pavlik_NL No, the Amsterdam metro is definately not clean or pretty. The wagons are quite old and damged by vandals. The smell on many station is awful and the travellers not always that friendly. Anyway, the metro is efficient and can bring you on many places where you would like to be. Besides that the Amsterdam metro is an amazing achievement, when one things about the fact that the town was already built on poles to prevent the houses sinking in the swamp that the land just actually is. The metro is therefor a technological miracle. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

The metro is managed by the GVB, the Amsterdam Transport Authority also managing the local trams, busses and ferries. These are the Amsterdam Metro lines: -50 -Isolaterweg-Gein -51 -Central Station-Westwijk -53 -Centraal Station-Gaasperplas -54 -Centraal Station-Gein Like taking a tram or bus you can travel the metro with an "OV Chipkaart". Amsterdam's subway is under futher development. The Central line will be extended under Het IJ by tunnel to Amsterdam North. More information on the North-South line construction Leave a Comment

 Train by annieruel La meilleure façon pour se rendre-là, c'est par train. The best way to go there, it's by train. Il y a dans la ville des tramway qui sont très populaires et peu coûteux pour la place. Le vélo est au premier rang, il est plus facile de circuler de cette façon. There is in the city a lot of tramway, very popular and not expensive for the place. The bike is the first one, it's easier to circulate in this way. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

the Metro from the airport to Central Station is inexpensive, convenient and quick. Watch out for where you sit....I did not realize I was in "first class" so the "ticket checker" kicked me out. Theme: Train
