Zuidtangent

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zuidtangent is a bus rapid transit service in the Netherlands from Haarlem via Hoofddorp, Schiphol Airport and Amstelveen to Amsterdam Zuidoost, operated by Connexxion as line 300. Buses drive on dedicated bus lanes from Haarlem to Schiphol Airport and have priority at crossings. The province Noord Holland has announced extensions from Hoofddorp (Toolenburg) to Nieuw-Vennep and from Hoofddorp (Beukenhorst) to Uithoorn.

Plans exist to transform the bus service into a tram service. The city council of Amsterdam wants to extend the Zuidtangent from Amsterdam Zuidoost to IJburg, but has no financial means yet.
