Transport
The area of Amsterdam-Noord is connected by two road bridges, the Schellingwouderbrug and Zeeburgerbrug (east), and three road tunnels, the Coentunnel (west), IJtunnel (centre) and Zeeburgertunnel (east) to other parts of Amsterdam. Furthermore there are 5 passenger ferries for pedestrians and bicycles. There are busses connections with the centre and other parts of Amsterdam and with Purmerend, Volendam and Zaandam. Because of the area's physical severance from the rest of the Amsterdam conurbation it is not served by tram or metro, although this might change if the projected North-South line would open in 2018.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
