Amstelveenseweg station is an "important" transit point as the metro crosses several bus and tram lines. Changes to the station and its surroundings were made in 2022 to make transiting easier and safer.[1] The station lies in the south of the city and serves as the metro station for many offices, the VU University Medical Center and Olympic Stadium.

The metro station is only accessible with an OV-chipkaart or GVB Travel Pass.

In January 2012, a gas leak at the metro station halted the tram and metro traffic, as well as all trains between Amsterdam Bijlmer station and Schiphol Airport.[2]
