On-demand transport (Flex) coming soon to Tholen municipality
What is the Flex?
The Flex is flexible on-demand transport. The Flex is a taxi or (small) bus with a driver and operates seven days a week from 06:00 to 23:00. You can easily book a trip via the Reizen door Zeeland app or by phone through the Vervoercentrale (088 23 58 070).
Residents of Schouwen-Duiveland, Noord-Beveland, Walcheren and Zeeuws-Vlaanderen already use this service. Soon, the rest of the Bevelanden and Tholen will also be connected, making the entire province of Zeeland accessible with the Flex.
The Flex travels a maximum of 25 kilometers per trip and, where possible, connects to public transport. This means you will soon be able to travel by public transport across Zeeland in the evenings and on weekends as well.
What can you already notice?
You are seeing them appear in more and more places in the municipality of Tholen: the green, teardrop-shaped signs with the word ‘hub’. But what exactly is a hub? A hub is a pick-up point where you can take the Flex and, at larger locations, transfer to buses, trains or ferries.
Where will the pick-up points be located?
Pick-up points for the Flex will be added at existing bus stops. There will also be pick-up points at new locations, so that within the built-up area, there will soon be a pick-up point within approximately 500 meters for everyone. There will also be pick-up points for the Flex at business parks.
When will the Flex be available in the municipality of Tholen?
If everything goes according to plan, this will happen in the course of April. The exact date is not yet known. Further communication will follow as soon as the date is confirmed.
