“We imagine the full boxon in the morning!“, jumps the Brabant MP Olivier Maroy (MR). “Completely unimaginable in terms of impact on mobility”added Montois Nicolas Martin (PS). Both of them questioned François Desquesnes (Les Engagés) this Wednesday.
“This work is indeed restrictive and very impactful for car commuters: we must seize it as an opportunity to deploy alternative solutions and make citizens want to try other modes of transport than the car. It is up to the various public transport and infrastructure services to rise to the challenge.” commented the new Walloon Minister of Mobility, who recalled that the Tec offer has already been increased on the Express lines E11 and E12, linking Brussels to Walloon Brabant. “These two lines are successful and the buses are regularly completely full. the minister said.

But what about line E13, the strengthening of which was announced by Philippe Henry (Ecolo)… without any follow-up? “For line E13, the project, which involved an extension of the line between the Walibi car park and Wavre station and maintaining service throughout the day, did not see the light of day.confirms the new minister. “The cost of this project amounted to €200,000 per year and neither my predecessor nor the Flemish Region wanted to bear these costs. In my eyes, this financial obstacle is not one. I asked the OTW (Transport operator of Wallonia, Editor’s note) to quickly re-examine the feasibility of extending the line.”

In addition, François Desquesnes will ask his administration to further promote Walloon Brabant deterrent parking near stations. On the train side, a further increase in supply, as was the case, will be requested by Wallonia. “Additional budgetary resources will be negotiated with Flanders. If the dialogue between administrations and public transport operators does not result satisfactorily, I will request the inclusion of the item at the next interministerial mobility conference. warned the centrist minister.
