Information requested by Flemish Member of Parliament An Christiaens (CD&V) shows that only 29 percent of the total number of buses in West Flanders are electric or hybrid. This does not make our province the worst student: that dubious honor goes to Limburg, where barely 19 percent of the buses are electrically powered.
“It cannot be the intention that green and non-polluting buses mainly find their way to the big cities,” says Christiaens. “Travelers should also be able to use comfortable electric buses in more rural areas.”
