The municipality of Noordoostpolder is to host an information session in September to encourage older people to use public transport.
The meeting is one of a number planned around municipalities in the Flevoland province in the central Netherlands.
In addition to the information session, attendees can sign up for a group tour led by an ‘ambassador’ – a fellow senior who volunteers to help others navigate public transport and explain how it works. Personal appointments with ambassadors are also available.
The meetings are a joint initiative of the IJsselmond Region, the Province of Flevoland and Overijssel.
