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.
