Live public transport in Almere

Real-time positions, delays and departure times on the map.

Open the live map of Almere

Almere was laid out with a separate network of busways, and that shapes its entire transport offer. allGo's trunk routes, recognisable by the M in front of the number, use those segregated roads between Station Centrum and the districts of Haven, Buiten, Poort, Stad and Hout. Because they never share space with cars, they sustain a frequency unusual for a city of this size. OVatlas follows them live across the map.

On the railway, the Flevolijn runs straight through the city, with stations at Poort, Muziekwijk, Centrum, Parkwijk, Buiten and Oostvaarders. Not every train calls everywhere: the intercities towards Amsterdam and Lelystad skip stations that the sprinters do serve. Open a station on the map and you see exactly which series are leaving at that moment and how late they are.

Towards Amsterdam there are buses as well as trains. Line 330 takes the Gooiseweg to Bijlmer ArenA and line 329 heads for Amstelstation, both useful when Centraal or Zuid is not your destination. Runs to and from Flevoland are sensitive to bridge openings and to traffic on the A6 motorway, which is precisely why the real position on the map beats the scheduled time.

Frequently asked questions

What are the M lines in Almere?

They are allGo's trunk routes: high-frequency buses running largely on segregated busways and linking the districts with Station Centrum. Their numbers are prefixed with an M. OVatlas lists them under that line number together with their current delay.

How many railway stations does Almere have?

Several: Poort, Muziekwijk, Centrum, Parkwijk, Buiten and Oostvaarders all sit on the Flevolijn, though not every train calls everywhere. Open a station on the map to see which intercities and sprinters actually depart from it.

How do I travel from Almere to Amsterdam?

The train along the Flevolijn is the fastest way to Amsterdam Centraal and Zuid. If you need Zuidoost or the east of the city, regional buses 330 and 329 run to Bijlmer ArenA and Amstelstation. All three can be tracked live.

Do Almere's buses run on their own roads?

Largely, yes: the city was laid out with a separate network of busways kept apart from car traffic. That makes journeys more predictable, though delays can still build up, which is why the map shows the real position rather than the timetable alone.
