Bravoflex: Flexible on-demand transport, now available in our municipality
New in our municipality: Bravoflex. This is a smart addition to regular public transport and operates daily, from early morning until late evening. This transport service takes you from a nearby stop to a public transport transfer point (a larger bus stop or train station), where you can continue your journey by bus or train. And of course, the same applies in reverse.
On demand
The transport service operates on demand, without fixed routes or schedules. You decide your departure and/or arrival time, ensuring a perfect connection with the bus or train. You can book Bravoflex at any regular bus stop or neighborhood bus stop. Additionally, over 200 extra Bravoflex pickup stops have been added in areas previously without bus service, such as rural areas and business parks. In our municipality, there are four new pickup stops:
- Ten Borchwardlaan
- Leenderstrijp
- Natuurpoort De Plaetse
- Leenderbos
An overview of all Bravoflex pickup stops can be found on the Bravoflex website.
