Talk:Amsterdam Metro

message: Maybe it would be nice to add some route diagrams to the Network section, but because they are structured vertically they take up a lot of space. I have made an example for line 50. I would like to get some feedback. – Ilse@ 10:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The sentence under the paragraph Planned "The project initially had a budget of €1.46 billion, but after several setbacks the total cost estimation has been adjusted to €3.1 billion (price level 2009), which will make it the most expensive metro line ever to be built worldwide." is clearly wrong. 
In Hong Kong, the West Rail (Phase 1) was completed in end of 2003 at a total cost of HKD46.4 billion (see note 1), translating into EUR4.36 billion at 2004 exchange rate. The price is even higher if other completed phases are taken into account. I also believe that there are many other metro lines in other part of the world that are even costly. As a matter of fact EUR3.1b is only a small amount.
The connection between CS and Amsterdam Zuid is already established during the 80 and 90 of the 20 century, but they made a reroute trough the old city center adding 3 more metro station in the old city center.

thread_title:  A wrong statement concerning the construction cost 

message: A quick question after reading through this page, but why isn't the history of the Green/Circle/Ring Line (50) described in the "Network" section?  It seems that the history of 51, 53, and 54 are described in some detail, but there is no mention of when the green line was ran to/from Isolatorweg.  It seems to me that the history of 50 would be described in the "Amstelveenlijn" subsection or given its own section.  And, kind of tangentially related, but in this section or the other, can it be made very clear which lines share tracks and between which stations in shares those tracks?  There is kind of mention, throughout, but it'd be nice to see this kind of information consolidated to be made more clear and concise. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:40, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, on 51, after you get past Zuid (NS), does one have to transfer to new vehicles, or can you take the line from end to end?  The article seems to describe that southwest-bound, the service operates as a tram and switches from third-rail to pantograph.  It seems to imply a vehicle change, and the Rolling Stock subsection shows two different types of vehicle serving the line. But can you have a seemless transition between the two power systems? --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:58, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

text: 51, 53, and 54 share a line between Amsteram Central and Sparklerweg, correct?  Seems like an interesting fact worth including on the page. --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:56, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I am about to revise (really: "roll back" to my earlier figures) the total network length figures quoted at this article because I think the following reference has been misinterpreted.
The above reference quotes the total network length of the Amsterdam Metro as "52 km", but because the focus of that document is the under construction Noord-Zuidlijn (North-South Line), I believe that the reference figure quoted here is a projected value for the Amsterdam Metro in 2020 after the Noord-Zuidlijn (North-South Line) has opened.
My reasons for thinking this: 
# The extent of the current metro(-only) network is essentially entirely encompassed by Route 50 () and Route 53 () which yields a total network length of the metro-only portions of  (which perhaps should be rounded to ?).
# Adding the  "fast tram" section of Line 51 obtains a total network length figure of .
# The total network length quoted at the Dutch-language :nl:Amsterdamse metro Wikipedia article is  (unreferenced), which is somewhat close to the  figure from #2 above. 
# Adding the planned  length of Noord-Zuidlijn (North-South Line) to this  figure from #3 above yields a (future) total network length value of  which matches the original reference.
So, based on all of this, I'm going to go back to the previous network length figures, because I think the single reference used to justify the  length has been misinterpreted. --IJBall (talk) 23:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
