Inhabitants of Krimpen aged 67 or older with low income free public transport

Inhabitants of Krimpen aged 67 or older, with an income below 120% of the minimum, can use public transport for free from 1 March 2021. This has been established by the board of Krimpen aan den IJssel. Alderman Coen Derickx: “This is good news for a large group of Crimean elderly. The new scheme enables this target group to travel more often, reducing the risk of loneliness and isolation. ”

Elderly people can travel for free with the Krimpense Meedoenpas

From 1 March 2021, residents of Krimpen aan den IJssel aged 67 or older can travel for free with a small wallet on public transport in Krimpen aan den IJssel and the surrounding area. This is possible with the Krimpense Meedoenpas. This allows you to check in free of charge on all bus and tram lines of the RET and on the metro lines A, B, C, D, and E (route Slinge - Berkel Westpolder). The pass is also valid on all Arriva bus lines in South Holland and on Syntus bus lines 195 and 295. Free travel from 1 March 2021 applies on working days from 9 a.m. On weekends and national holidays, the elderly can travel for free all day long.

Unique collaboration between different transport companies

Krimpen aan den IJssel is located at the crossroads of various transport companies. For the Rotterdam region, travelers are dependent on the RET and for South Holland on the carrier Arriva. In addition, Syntus has a few bus lines in Krimpen aan den IJssel with a connection to Utrecht. In the realization of the Meedoenpas for 67 + ers a unique collaboration has been realized between these transport companies. Shrinking elderly people can therefore go in all directions with the Meedoenpas.

The new scheme allows older people to travel more often

The new scheme for Krimpense public transport makes it more accessible for elderly people with a small wallet to travel by public transport. More information about applying for the Meedoenpas will be published by the municipality of Krimpen aan den IJssel in 2021 on www.krimpenaandenijssel.nl , the municipal page in the Kontakt and on our social media channels.

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p

Largest water lily in the world blooms in Leiden

The oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, has a wonderful pineapple scent. That means that the Victoria Amazonica is in bloom. With leaves that can grow up to two meters wide, this is the largest water lily in the world and its flowers smell like pineapple. The flower of the Victoria Amazonica is a night bloomer and only blooms in high summer. What is special is that the water lily only blooms for two nights. Rogier de Vugt, cashier of the Leiden Hortus Botanicus, knows everything about the plant. "The first night the flower is white and gives off a strong pineapple smell, which attracts beetles. The second night the flower turns pink and has no smell anymore. The beetles still come to it and are covered with pollen", explains De Vugt. Because the plant has an enormous size, only one can grow in the pond of the Hortus. "The leaves have raised edges, so they can't grow over each other, so they can't get any light anymore. Th
