How to travel between Central Station and Amstel Station
Shuttle bus 59: Central Station to Amstel Station
This bus stops near the metro stations Waterlooplein, Weesperplein and Wibautstraat, which are closed. The shuttle buses regretfully can not serve Nieuwmarkt, as the streets are too narrow. The number of passengers the bus can accommodate is limited compared to the metro.
