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.

#Sweet

#Lief is a themed broadcast of Decennium Dick on Thursday evening March 4, 2021 ... Love is never sin, living without love is sin! That was one of the texts that was written down in chalk on the public road near the Mieras Church on Saturday. How can we find love again in Krimpen? How can we together ensure that peace is restored in our society? Where we can all live, work and live with pleasure? Living with pleasure is also one of the central points of the Youth Advisory Council of Krimpens-Belang. A group of 15 young people want to help local politicians with their ideas and will provide the Krimpens-Belang and thus actually the entire municipal council with input.

Literary Happy Hour

After Erik's Tip, writer Marjo de Vroed sits down to tell something about herself and of course about her second book. Marjo de Vroed (1965) has lived in South Holland all her life and was a teacher at a Jenaplan school. She is married and has three grown daughters. When they were little, she regularly made up stories for them, which she brought to life with their hugs. She has loved writing since childhood. It started from group 4 with stories in the school newspaper and eventually resulted in adulthood in writing musicals for group 8 of her own school. In between, she wrote notebooks full of short stories and rhymes. And now children's books .

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...
