Comments The line from Amstelveen Poortwachter - Centraal Station is actually an LRT line.
A new line is scheduled to open in June 1997. Projects in the works are the North-South Metro project and the IJtram along the south bank of the IJ river. Neither has begun construction yet. The GVB will order new trams this year, in which there is also the order for the trams of the IJ-tram. The metro line will be very deep, at least 25 m, underneath roads.
The Zuidtangent is an LRT underconstrauction which will run along the southern section of Amsterdam, connecting Haarlem with Uithoorn via the airport at Schipol.
