Amsterdam Transit
Metro

Amsterdam

The Metro consists of 4 routes. 3 lines go to Centraal Station. 2 of those lines are full fledge metro routes. The third is more of a light rail line sharing trackage with a traditional tram line for part of it's length. The fourth route is just short of completing a metro ring around the city. It is completely grade separated, but it's equipment resembles a light rail line (with high platforms).

Amsterdam is currently working on building a new Metro line connecting North Amsterdam with city center and continuing to the south part of the city.

Here full metro stock is seen stopping at the Amstel Station. Transfers may be made here with the mainline trains. (11/99 video.)	A Route 51 SnelTram is at Amstel. This acts like a metro for half its route, then like a tram on a light rail route towards Amstelveen. (11/99 video.)
