Bravoflex: Flexible on-demand transport for everyone in Oirschot, Spoordonk and De Beerzen
Did you know that with the Bravoflex transport service, you can travel from all (neighbourhood) bus stops in our municipality to a larger public transport hub, such as Sint Jorisstraat bus stop in Oirschot or Best train station? To make this possible, 12 new stops have been added. Bravoflex also operates in the evenings and at weekends, complementing the existing public transport network.
Flexible on-demand transport
Bravoflex operates without fixed routes or timetables. You can easily book your trip via the app or by phone. A taxi or minibus will pick you up at a nearby stop and take you to a larger public transport hub, such as a bus or train station. From there, you can continue your journey by bus or train without unnecessary waiting or detours. And of course, you can also use Bravoflex on your return trip!
Bravoflex is available to everyone every day of the week, even late at night. This makes it ideal for Oirschot, Spoordonk and De Beerzen, where buses run less frequently at weekends or in the evenings. Bravoflex also serves areas where no bus or neighbourhood bus operates. In Brabant, over 200 special Bravoflex stops have been added in rural areas, hamlets and business parks. This ensures that these areas are better connected to public transport.
The benefits of Bravoflex
