Industrial estates more accessible with Bravoflex
As of 1 March 2026, the industrial estates Rondven and Den Engelsman (Maarheeze) and Airpark (Budel) are more easily accessible by public transport. These locations have officially been added to Bravoflex, the flexible public transport service in Southeast Brabant.
Municipality of Cranendonck submitted these three stops to the Province of North Brabant, which approved and included them in the Bravoflex network.
What is Bravoflex?
Bravoflex is flexible public transport without fixed routes or timetables. It operates where and when regular bus services are unavailable or infrequent. Passengers are picked up at a Bravoflex stop and taken directly to a public transport hub, such as a bus or train station. This means that the industrial estates in Cranendonck are now more accessible for staff, customers, and interns.
How does it work?
- You can easily book a ride via the Taxbus app or by phone (088-0234795).
- You choose your own departure or arrival time, whether during the day, in the evening, or at the weekend.
- A vehicle takes the shortest route to your desired stop or transfer point.
- There is always space available, as Bravoflex operates on demand.

What does it cost?
A ride with Bravoflex costs €2 when no regular bus is running on your route at that time. By “at that time,” we mean from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after your desired departure time. If regular buses run within this time window, a ride costs €5. The app will show you which transfer stops you can reach for this fare. If you wish to travel to a different stop, a higher fare applies. Children up to 11 years old travel free with an adult. Public transport discount cards (such as student cards) are not valid.
It’s good to know that Bravoflex is also an option when regular bus times do not align well. However, be aware that a higher fare applies if a regular bus or community bus runs on the same route within half an hour. Would you like to travel from one stop to another without transferring? This is also possible with Haltetaxi. The maximum travel distance for Haltetaxi is 25 km, and a different fare applies.
Added value for entrepreneurs
- Improved accessibility: employees and interns without a car can now reliably commute to work.
- More attractive for customers and suppliers: business visitors can more easily reach the location by public transport, especially for early morning or late evening appointments.
- More sustainable and future-proof: Bravoflex is part of the provincial strategy for accessible and sustainable mobility. A plus for companies aiming for sustainable operations.
- Flexible transport where no bus runs: locations where bus services have been reduced or eliminated are now accessible again by public transport.
