Brussels (Brussels morning newspaper) – Ringtrambus between Jette UZ and Zaventem airport will operate at a faster speed after the completion. The ringtrambus acquired its own bus route after construction in the sector of the center of Vilvoorde.
The ringtrambus between Uz Brussels Jette and Zaventem airport travels at a faster pace because Vilvoorde improved its infrastructure. VRT reported That the implementation of separate bus lanes now extends by 3.5 kilometers through Heldenplein, Stationlei and Europabrug in key areas. The new infrastructure improvements seek to shorten travel time within public transport networks while attracting new cyclists who opt for public transport, thus reducing general traffic in the Brussels ring. The bus route takes the same road as the 820 bus line traveling from Grimbergen through Vilvoorde until reaching the Brussels airport.
“The Ring Trambus looks like a tram, but runs on regular roads and can transport more passengers.”
Marco Demerling, Lijn spokesman says.
“We want to convince as many people as possible to leave their cars at home and opt for public transport. With the ring tram, we sacrifice a comfortable and soft alternative to the Brussels ring.”
The ringtrambus will implement its final operating route in 2027 when it moves to serve Diegem instead of Machelen. A tunnel project under the Brussels ring road in Woluwelaan continues its construction to allow this traffic alteration.
After the completion, the final route will contain 8.5 kilometers of bus lanes operating in Bothel addresses to provide additional operational efficiency. The current improvements of the Heldenplein bus station, combined with traffic optimization in Vilvoorde, represent a key part of the passenger -centered updates.
What is the history of public transport improvements in Brussels?
The authorities in Brussels faced persistent problems of traffic congestion, which led to the issue to develop different transport solutions. Bajo “Babantnet”, the main objective was to develop Ringtrambus through the “Babantnet” initiative, which operates within Flanders and Brussels.
The population had tried to reduce the dependence of the car extending tram lines and implementing high frequency bus routes in the past. Improve traffic conditions in the essential but very concised Brussels ring (R0) remains the main task for which the Ringtrambus system It was designed.
The development of public transport in Vilvoorde has expanded the progressive duration in recent years.
