Future Extensions
From 2017, the metro network will be extended westward to Hoek van Holland, as RET will take over the rail line from NS. The new line will connect to the existing network at Schiedam Centrum. The project will include the construction of a new station at Maassluis.
As part of the "Stadionpark" project, a new line between Zuidplein and Kralingse Zoom is planned. This line will bypass the existing transfer at Beurs and will provide better public transport connections for residential areas on the South bank of Rotterdam.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or extensions:
“Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
