FNV Union Urges Qbuzz to Reopen Discussions on Emmen–Ter Apel Bus Route

The FNV union sent an open letter to the management of Qbuzz on Tuesday, urging them to reopen discussions regarding the Emmen–Ter Apel bus route. This comes after the unrest in recent weeks surrounding bus line 73 between Emmen and Ter Apel. According to FNV, this situation has led to unsafe conditions for bus drivers. The union is requesting that Qbuzz return to previously made agreements outlined in a safety covenant. Despite six earlier letters from the union this year, FNV claims that Qbuzz has still not responded to these calls, even on RTV Drenthe.

GeenStijl has also published an article about the shuttle bus, noting that it has become more crowded since the cessation of ticket sales. “A Qbuzz spokesperson refuses to comment on whether the disruption on regular lines has decreased since the shuttle bus became free,” the website reports.
