This video a remake of a previous video incorporating your feedback, improving pronunciations, making corrections, and fully revamping the visuals and script. Please enjoy and consider sharing!
I’m studying abroad in Amstelveen and loved learning this!
Alo worth to remind.. it's pretty expensive too the damn ticket price
lol, been to Amsterdam many times, but i never used public transport…
A quick note/correction: The NS is the main national rail transport provider but that tram or light rail as you showed in the beginning has nothing to do with the NS, trams in Amsterdam are run by the GVB (Municipal Transport Company). Also metro lines 53 and 54 split up at station Van der Madeweg, not Duivendrecht. Duivendrecht was the name of the metro station until 1993 when we got a new shiny NS train station with the same name.
IJ is pronounced as eye.
The Rotterdam Subway network, tram and busnetwork is wayyyy better an threw all of Rotterdam even too the Hague… The Amsterdam subway network was wayyyy too expensive
There is a second weird metro The Haque/Rotterdam
As a Dutch person it always feels super strange hearing praise about our train network.
4:06 Red line 53 and green line 50 & yellow 54 technically split 1 stop before at "Van der Madeweg".
Imo they build this a bit stupid because line 53 physically passed through Duivendrecht (which is one of the biggest train/metro stations) but they didn't build a stop for line 53.
I visited Antwerp and Amsterdam the same day. Amsterdam 's metro (and trams) are so much better than Antwerpen's prémetro
I'm really sorry but the way you pronounced IJ made me laugh so hard.
Where did you get tha basemap from? It’s so good and detailed
Thanks a lot. Have been wanting to check out the Amsterdam Metro. Hope you have some from the cab position in video. Will search for more. Especially where the NS and Metro are on the same or adjacent platforms.
12:33 that's the tram stop at Amsterdam South and boy is it unwieldy, especially with all the taxis around it
Video is good, but commentary is delivered far too quickly. Take a breath!
🚇🇳🇱
I think its worth saying that Bijlmermeer used be a 'bad' area but the city has been doing a whole lot of transformation and its a really nice area now.
I lived in Westwijk for about 8 years during the time the Metro 51 or "Sneltram" was serving it.
To be honest while the systemic issues with the dual pick-up method and longer platforms, etc. are completely valid, the whole system as a whole worked perfectly fine. Amstelveen is a huge suburbia-style area with lots of commuters, and a high-density Metro made travel into the inner-city take 30 minutes at most even at peak rush hour where the trains were doubled up. Building the Metro in the middle of an arterial road might've also introduced unnecessary cross-paths with pedestrians and cars, but the lamps, bells, gongs and barriers were a very good and accessible solution. Moreover it provided equal access to the Metro line from both sides of the suburban developments as they were built. I especially remember that early into my time in the Netherlands only one side of Westwijk was built, with the other half being built during my time there.
I'm looking forward to try out the new Amsteltram and to compare it to what I know from childhood, but riding those incredibly unique Metros will forever be a core memory.
I recently visited Amsterdam in October 2023, and I must say, I did really love the public transport system. I got a 4-day OV period card provided by my campus, which hosted the trip. I come from Denmark, another country with great public transport on average, and I have used the Copenhagen public transport a lot, and I think that Copenhagen has something to improve like trams, the metro was also good but I do feel like the convenience and rapid service of the copenhagen metro was better. Otherwise, a very well designed public transport system in my opinion (I did only use the metro and occasional trams though)
Cologne metro trains also have those stairs going up and down
5:53 bro that’s not m52, m52 only got one of the newest metros called M5 (M5 isn’t a route, but its a vehicle)
hey dude, good video! M51 is from CS to Isolator Way btw, it changed, but thats really long ago
