Port Authority deploys water buses for commuter traffic

Port alderman Marc Van Peel, who announced the project this afternoon, says that by investing in alternative modes of transport, the port wants to convince people to leave their cars at home. “The Scheldt is an untapped commuter highway with extraordinary potential that we can no longer ignore. I believe in the water buses that have proved a great success in other European ports. The same can be done perfectly here in Antwerp and in the short term,” said the alderman.
