About Amsterdam Metro

The Amsterdam Metro is a rapid transit system serving Amsterdam, Netherlands, and its surrounding municipalities. Opened on October 14, 1977, it has grown to become a vital part of the city's public transportation network, operated by the municipal public transport operator GVB.

The system consists of 5 lines (50, 51, 52, 53, and 54) covering a total length of 42.5 kilometers (26.4 miles). These lines serve 39 stations, connecting central Amsterdam with major residential and business districts in the city's periphery. The network includes both underground and elevated sections, with approximately 60% of the system running above ground.

Line 52, also known as the North-South Line (Noord/Zuidlijn), is the newest addition to the network, opening in 2018 after a lengthy construction period. This fully underground line runs from Amsterdam North under the IJ river and the historic city center to Amsterdam South, serving eight stations along its 9.7-kilometer (6-mile) route.

The metro system uses a standard gauge track and operates on a 750V DC third rail power supply. The current rolling stock primarily consists of modern M5 series trains manufactured by CAF, which began service in 2013. These trains feature open gangways between cars and are fully air-conditioned.

The Amsterdam Metro carries approximately 370,000 passengers on an average weekday and operates from about 6:00 AM until 12:30 AM. During peak hours, trains run every 4-6 minutes on most lines. The system is integrated with Amsterdam's broader public transport network, including trams, buses, and ferries, using a common fare system based on the OV-chipkaart smart card technology.
