Offline Metro Takeover | FREE XL Event 🚊 | Metro 50
Let's turn one of the most screen-saturated places, the metro, offline. 📵 Join this free event to swap screen time for real time.
Imagine this: hundreds of strangers riding the metro, without a phone in sight. Instead, they're reading, knitting, chatting, having fun. On Saturday, November 15, we're challenging Amsterdam to take a break from scrolling and turn Metro Line 50 into a phone-free living room on wheels. Ⓜ️
What to expect:
➡️ The calm way there. 45 minutes of shared silent time - to relax, read, knit, sketch and slow down.
⬅️ The social way back. 45 minutes of time to chat, connect, play games & meet new people (maybe even make music?).
📵 Phones off and tucked away for the entire round-trip.
Please note that the Metro is open to everyone, so commuters might board the same line (probably with their phones 😉).
Where & when:
📍 A round trip on Metro Line 50, from Metro Station Isolatorweg, Platform 1 (starting point) to Metro Station Gein (and back).
⏰ Each way takes +- 45 minutes. We will start and end at the same station (Isolatorweg).
🗓 Saturday, November 15, from 13:00 - (roughly) 15:00. Please arrive before 13:00, as we'll take the 13:08 metro from Platform 1.
🎟 RSVP to claim your free ticket (or donate to our mission).*
*Please note that you will still need to check in (or buy a metro ticket) using your OV-card for both ways (€10,60 total), to abide by Dutch law.
What to bring:
📖 Bring a book, knitting set, journal, sketch pad, LEGO, or whatever offline hobby you love.
👯 Your friends, fam, colleagues, crush... Basically, people who'd kill you if they'd miss this.
We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.
Love, The Offline Club Amsterdam
