Travellers will be able to access the existing bus station throughout the renovation period. As of 2027, they will be able to make use of the new bus station, which will feature a large, covered bus platform and three new sets of stairs to the train platforms.
This year, work will focus on creating new temporary bus stops so that traffic can continue during the project. These bus stops will be operational by spring 2025, albeit in a different location to the existing stops. Schiphol will direct travellers to the correct bus stops by way of signage and information at the stops, the airport operator said.
To keep disruption for travellers to a minimum the contractor will fence the area off with construction hoardings. Initially these will fence off specific areas, but after the temporary stops have been put into use there will be a large work area at the existing bus station. Shielded walkways will be constructed for travellers so that they can walk past the work area to the bus and train stations safely.
Car and bicycle parking
As part of the work to make this renovation possible, the P1/P6 car park exit is being relocated. Motorists will be diverted with temporary signage. Travellers and employees who come to the airport by bicycle can park at the new temporary bike shed at Mercuriusplein.
Schiphol will work on the bus station in phases. The preparatory work on the temporary bicycle shed, cables and pipes has recently been completed. To make room for the renovation, a number of transport functions have been moved to the Koepelstraat arrival passage. Taxis ordered by app, crew transport and coaches have been given a permanent place here.
New bus station
The new bus station will be one large, covered island platform with 20 bus stops, which means space for more buses. Travellers will also enjoy more room when waiting for the bus. After the renovation, transferring between bus and train will be easier. Three new stairways will soon directly connect the bus station to the train platforms below, enabling travellers to transfer directly between bus and train. Gates will be placed around these stairs to check in and out. There will also be a new bicycle shed with space for approximately 500 bicycles, where both travellers and employees can park their bikes. The surrounding roads will be redesigned and connected to the new bus station. The renovation of the bus station at Schiphol is a collaboration between Schiphol and The Amsterdam Regional Transport Authority (Vervoerregio Amsterdam).
