AMLflex

AMLflex is a demand-responsive transport (DRT) brand serving the Amstelland-Meerlanden region in North Holland, the Netherlands. The operator describes it as a sustainable and flexible on-demand mobility service that partially replaces large buses running at low frequencies. Rather than following a fixed timetable, AMLflex lets passengers choose their own pick-up location and time as well as their destination, in effect operating only when there is demand. The service is intended to fill gaps in the regular public transport network, especially in the evening and in areas or at times when regular bus frequencies are low. According to the operator, AMLflex trips can be booked through the OV-op-Maat app or by telephone. If a vehicle is needed immediately, it will appear at the agreed location within 30 minutes. Through the app, passengers can also book trips for a later time, an option not offered for telephone bookings. Fares are calculated at standard public transport rates, and the OV-op-Maat app displays the cost of the trip. For telephone bookings, passengers can ask for the price of the chosen trip. Children in pushchairs travel free of charge, while children not in a pushchair count as additional passengers. If the driver needs to make a detour, passengers do not pay more. Subscriptions and age discounts apply when paying with a personal OV-chipkaart. When booking through the app, payment can be made with iDEAL or a credit card, and on board an OV-op-Maat vehicle with an OV-chipkaart, debit card or credit card; cash is not accepted. The service evolves in step with the regular bus network. Since 3 January 2021, fixed bus routes have been restored on weekdays, with buses available from Monday to Friday until 19:00. After 19:00, passengers book an AMLflex vehicle through the app or by telephone. Earlier, adjustments to AMLflex that took effect on 17 August 2020 were explained by leaflet. AMLflex is part of the OVflex flexible transport product line of Transdev in the Netherlands. Its identity is closely tied to the Amstelland-Meerlanden concession area, complementing scheduled bus services rather than replacing the entire network. The brand is recorded as a public transport brand name in North Holland, the Netherlands.
