Great, the new passage at Zuid station, but I have a proposal for an even smoother flow for pedestrians

The recently opened Brittenpassage at Amsterdam Zuid station aims to improve pedestrian flow with a more spacious and luminous design. While welcoming this infrastructure development, some suggest that if congestion persists, implementing a pilot program for mandatory walking speeds during peak hours could optimize transit. This proposal envisions designated lanes for different types of commuters, ranging from leisure walkers to high-paced professionals, similar to lanes found in public swimming pools. Specific lanes could prioritize essential workers like healthcare professionals or teachers to ensure they meet critical time-sensitive responsibilities, while leaving space for creative individuals who may require a slower pace.

Should the pilot prove successful, it could potentially be expanded to other major transit hubs like The Hague. Such a system would require dedicated enforcement and administrative oversight, creating new roles for station staff. Although the hope remains that the new passage will naturally resolve previous bottleneck issues, the author advocates for the concept as a creative solution to maintain efficient mobility for the diverse crowds of urban professionals passing through the city daily.
