“Heijdse Lijn service line” done with GECO electric shuttle.

In the city of Ter Heijde (NL) the “Heijdse Lijn service line” done with GECO electric shuttle is running through almost all the streets of the village behind the dunes. Passengers can stop the bus by raising their hands. The elderly in particular make use of the service, which is made possible by using different stops. However, the service does not have an age limit.

The change will take effect on November 15. The service level is also being increased in Ter Heijde itself. Experience has shown that passengers find it unpleasant waiting in wind and weather at the boarding points. Also, not everyone is able to walk there. Starting next week, the Heijdse Lijn will run through almost all the streets of the village behind the dunes. Passengers can stop the bus by raising their hands. The bus departs according to schedule on the full and half hour from the garage in the Pietersonstraat.

Course

The garage will remain a covered entry point. From there, the route goes through Ter Heijde, after which course is set to Monster. The last ride to Ter Heijde is in the morning at about 11.50 am. On Fridays, the bus also runs in the afternoon.

De Heijdse Lijn wants to further expand its services. But that requires more volunteers. At the moment 23 drivers are involved. In time there should be thirty
