That is why we are improving the accessibility of our province and investing in all forms of transport including high-quality public transport. We are not only thinking of the buses and the timetable but also of comfortable stops and reliable travel information. This makes public transport an even more attractive alternative for travelers.High-quality public transport in the regionIn the Drechtsteden Molenlanden Gorinchem region there are 3 R-net bus connections and 4 high-quality public transport HOV connections with Qbuzz as the carrier. Now the stops of these bus connections are being refurbished in the recognizable red-grey style. This means that the stops will have a comfortable bus shelter with a bench windshield and digital travel information boards. Certain stops will also have extensive bicycle facilities. This will be communicated to residents in the immediate vicinity of the stops.New stop namesWith the makeover 20 stops will also be given a new clearer name.
