GVB and Transport Region to discuss safer Van der Madeweg station with young women

The GVB and the Vervoerregio are hosting a consultation session to address safety concerns at the Van der Madeweg metro station. As network changes are set to increase the station's role as a major transfer point starting next year, authorities are seeking input specifically from women aged 16 to 35. This feedback will help shape future safety improvements and infrastructure adjustments at the site.

While previous plans already included the introduction of transfer assistants, improved seating, and enhanced shelter, officials want to better understand the subjective feeling of safety among female passengers. The meeting is scheduled for November 23 at the Kauwgomballenfabriek in the eastern part of the city. Participants are invited to share their experiences or reasons for avoiding the station, with transport providers ensuring safe transport home for all attendees following the evening discussion. Interested residents are encouraged to register by email.
