The Minister of Mobility, Georges Gilkinet (Ecolo), launched a study with a view to making the country’s stations “connection nodes”, he revealed on Saturday in the columns of Sudinfo. The aim is to enable users getting off a train at a medium-sized station to get a local train or bus within six minutes, through the development of an “integrated timetable”.
This “real revolution”, as the minister describes it, “requires a dialogue with all the players”, namely the Regions and their transport companies.
“It will take a little time,” acknowledges Mr. Gilkinet, who cites the Namur and Mons stations as examples. “There, I am launching the process, in the form of a study which must show under what conditions we can succeed: confirm that it is economically feasible, that it can be applied to the Belgian network without disproportionate investment and that it is technically feasible without impact on the current service. »
“It will be implemented during the next legislature,” assures the minister, also promising a second component which will consist of tariff integration.
