Developing and expanding mobility hubs in Middelburg

An upgrade of mobility hub station

The presence of the station (and bus station) offers an important opportunity to improve the value of this location as a mobility hub. Here too, this wil be achieved in adding transport modalities to increase the transfer and choice options and to make it accessible and recognizable as a mobility hub.

The upgrading of the mobilityhub project station within MOVE contains the following elements;

• An addition of e-car share system (this will be located at the rear of the station).
• An addition of charge point for e-cars.
• Also an addition of shared bikes.
• We also working for further optimization of bicycle parking (within guarded indoor parking).

This additions Increase the possibilities for chain transport with clean technology. This makes the use of public transport more attractive.

• Rental bicycles (already available)
• Train and buses (already present)
• Taxi ranks and Park and Ride (already available)
• Bicycle parking facilities

All this facilities will improve chain transport and thus increase the attractiveness of the use of public transport. Higher use of public transport leads to a reduction in car flows and is therefore sustainable.
