Tram, bus, bicycle, taxi

Trams, buses and bicycles will all be part of the future Amsterdam Zuid station public transport hub, at the heart of Zuidas. All of this, combined with a taxi rank and a Kiss & Ride, will make opting to avoid using the car very attractive.

Alongside Amsterdam Zuid station, in Eduard van Beinumstraat, there will be a bus station for local and regional buses. Whereas, in the current situation, passengers get on and off in Strawinskylaan and then have to cross Zuidplein by stairs or lift to get to and from the trains and metros, the new bus station will be much closer to the station. The stops will have the same look and feel as the railway and metro platforms and tram stops. The bus station is being built on top of the northern tunnel for the A10 Zuid, which is being diverted underground at the heart of Zuidas. This section of the tunnel therefore needs to be built before the bus station. The bus station is scheduled to open in 2033.

There will also be tram stops next to Amsterdam Zuid station, but on the south side in Arnold Schönberglaan. This will make transferring from one mode of transport to another significantly easier. The new tram stops will be built on top of the southern tunnel for the A10 Zuid, which is being diverted underground at the heart of Zuidas. This part of the tunnel will therefore need to be built before we can build the tram stops. Completion is scheduled for 2034.

The regenerated Amsterdam Zuid station will have plenty of bicycle parking on all sides. There are currently already three large underground car parking facilities close to the station. A further three will be added. In total, there will be parking for 11,000 bikes in 2030. An additional 2,600 spaces are being added with the Brittenpassage, 1,600 with the renovated Minervapassage and a further 2,400 next to Parnassusweg.

In the station area, between Beethovenstraat and Parnassusweg and Arnold Schönberglaan and Eduard van Beinumstraat, there will be no space for cars. The exceptions are taxis and a Kiss & Ride. There will be taxi ranks and a place to drop passengers off at the station in Matthijs Vermeulenpad, which can be accessed from Beethovenstraat.
