Comfortable transfers on temporary metro platforms
From 26 August 2024, three of the four metro platforms at Amsterdam Zuid station will be at the same height. This will make transfers much easier. But 2027 is already in sight: in that year, all of the metro platforms will move to the new Brittenpassage.
