GVB expands service during ADE with night metro and more ferries
Public transport operator GVB is extending its metro and ferry services during the Amsterdam Dance Event to assist the large influx of visitors. These expanded operating hours, which include overnight services, are intended to improve safety and accessibility for both party-goers and night workers throughout the city.
The public transport operator GVB is expanding its service schedule for the Amsterdam Dance Event to accommodate the influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors. Key adjustments include extended operating hours for the Noord/Zuidlijn and the metro line between Amsterdam Central and Gein, which will run until 2.00 AM on Friday and Saturday nights. Additionally, ferry services at Buiksloterweg will be increased, and the NDSM ferry will operate throughout the entire night on Saturday and Sunday. The metro services will also resume operations earlier in the morning at 5.30 AM.
Night mayor Freek Wallagh stated that these transport improvements are crucial for the social safety and mobility of both party-goers and night workers. As nightlife venues increasingly relocate to the city's outskirts, these expanded transit options help keep the city connected. Wallagh hopes that these temporary measures will eventually pave the way for a permanent night transport network, building on the success of similar adjustments made during last year's event when approximately 12,000 extra metro trips were recorded.
