The metro towards Amsterdam-Southeast. It’s probably not something you associate with the word ‘party’. But be prepared to update your mind-map on Saturday February 12th, because that’s when we will rock the metro’s foundations with the Infaders!
At 9.11 pm we will get the rear metro wagon from Central Station towards Gein. As soon as the sliding doors close, the volume of our mobile sound system will slide right up. The Infaders DJ-team will take you on a bouncy journey through the Amsterdam underground. And you can bring your own drinks!
When we have reached Gein, we’ll switch to another metro and we will probably ride around until we take the last service back to Central Station. Or until the GVB personnel send us away. We do think that this is unlikely to happen, because through our event we support their battle against planned budget cuts. They will strike on February 14th and we help them raise awareness for their cause in a positive way.
Wanna rave with us?
1. Invite your fellow ravers through facebook
2. Wear something festive! With colours. And lights.
3. Bring your own drinks, and one extra for the Infaders 🙂
4. Be sweet to other people using the metro
5. Clean up the mess after you and your fellow ravers
6. Don’t forget your iPod if you want to request a song

De metro naar Amsterdam Zuid-Oost. Misschien niet het eerste waar je aan denkt bij het woord ‘feest’. Maar op zaterdagavond 12 februari gaat het los in de ondergrondse, want dan raven we met de Infaders voor de Gein!
Om 21.11 uur pakken we de achterste metrowagon van Centraal Station richting de Gein. Zodra de schuifdeuren dichtgaan, gaat ons mobiel soundsystem open. Het Infaders DJ-team neemt je mee op een stuiterende reis door …de Amsterdamse underground. Je drankjes mag je zelf meenemen!
Als we de Gein hebben bereikt, springen we weer op een andere sneltram en zo blijven we heen en weer raven. Tot de laatste metro terug naar CS. Of totdat we weggestuurd worden door personeel van het GVB. Maar dat zal ons waarschijnlijk niet gebeuren, want met deze rave steunen we het GVB in hun strijd tegen de geplande miljoenenbezuinigingen. Het GVB heeft voor 14 februari een staking afgekondigd. Wij denken dat onze actie op minstens evenveel sympathie kan rekenen, van zowel de reizigers als het GVB.
Rave je mee?
1. Nodig je ravemaatjes uit via Facebook!
2. Trek iets ravebaars aan! Met kleurtjes. En lichtjes.
3. Neem je eigen drank mee, en eentje extra voor de Infaders 🙂
4. Geef je medereizigers zo nu en dan een knuffel
5. Ruim je eigen troep op en ook die van je maten
6. Vergeet je iPod niet als je een verzoeknummer hebt

dat is echt een hele goede idee 🙂
People are smart in NL, they seem engage with the whole community when doing stuff like this, especially to support the fight against budget cuts (NL has an amazing public transport system, I found I could take myself and even my bike from the port to the German border for €50 return)
indeed… i must say NL transport is bloody good
haha fb event has 1600 people as *attending* right now. its gona be so epic!
The subway to Gein Saturday threatens to be overwhelmed by hundreds of protesters partying. With a rave, a house party, they want to protest against cuts in public transport.
The DJ team Infaders said last week young people through Facebook on Saturday to the Central Station to connect to the subway to Gein celebration. In the call were invited guests to bring own drinks and fellow travelers’ occasional hug. “The intention between CS and drive back and forth raving Gein.
To the surprise of the organization stood at the counter this morning sixteen hundred entries. Nearly twelve hundred people might have to come out. In a metro only fit three hundred passengers.
In order to take pressure off Invaders has shown Saturday night at a subway station to any other steps in the hope that fewer people showed up. When people hear in the subway the party going, they can get. The collective also promises that the party stops when the tube is full.
The organization key participants in the heart of the Metro Rave not to spoil anything illegal to get by. The Infaders not expect any problems and even rely on support from the Metro Rave CFP because the company would support in the fight against the cuts.
The CFP is sympathetic to the action, but asks the organization to refrain because of the safety of other passengers.

Too many people might attend, so the major of Amsterdam canceled the event.
I thought something like this might happen … alltho I was originaly under the impression that it wasn’t sanctioned by the govenment. Was actualy more worried about people getting hurt by falling under the trainlines or something!
Als je niet bij de Metro Rave kan zijn, kan je ook gewoon je steun betuigen door het shirt kopen:Metro Rave Tshirts from Zazzle.com
Long live Infaderrrrs! 😀
apparently the party is still on, but has been adjusted people are instructed to go to other Amsterdam metro stations rather than just go to Gein – as each metro carriage can only hold 300 people.
Raveparty in metro aangepast wegens veiligheid – Amsterdam – AD
incidentally for those in NL to give you an idea of what happens with excessive budget cuts to public transport, it would cost me €40 just to get from where I live to where Daftfader lives – and that is only about 120km. just 10 years ago it was only about €15-€20.
the metro (Undeground or Tube) is about €5 return if you do not have oyster card (at least it was last time I went on one)
I just looked on ns.nl and found this..
Prijs voor reizen door heel Nederland € 47,00 (Dagkart)
I think that means you can go on trains for entire country for < €50
I am not sure what metro fares cost but seems like in NL they have transport sussed out, would be foolish to fuck this all up just for short term gain..

The underground is now about £5 return with out an oyster iirc. (that’s if you travel through zone 1 and out the other side).
