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.

Decade Dick: Almost all participants passed the traffic exam

Freek Bredius was a guest in Decennium Dick on behalf of Safe Traffic Netherlands department Krimpen aan den IJssel. He was able to tell us that 421 children participated in the practical traffic exam today. All but five children passed. Congratulations to all! The children who did not make it turned out to have cycled on the route with their hands free. The route started and ended at the Tuyter. Mayor Martijn Vroom was present to officially start the first class. 7.3 Kilometers was cycled and the children of the groups 7 and 8 passed all kinds of difficult intersections and traffic situations in Krimpen aan den IJssel. What was very annoying and difficult was that there have been young people who removed or turned around signs from the route. In addition, some plates are irreparably damaged. It was the first time that this happened on the day of the traffic test. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file . Also in this edition of Decennium Dick a...

#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.
