BürgerBus connects the region

The new BürgerBus connects the region - thanks to many committed volunteers and with BEWITAL as a partner on board.

The BürgerBus Südlohn-Oeding has been an important connection between Stadtlohn, Südlohn, Oeding and Winterswijk in the Netherlands for many years - especially for people without their own vehicle. Since the beginning of 2024, a new, modern minibus has been operating on route B7, which impresses with barrier-free access, more space for rollators and baby carriages and a comfortable interior. The purchase was also made possible thanks to the support of regional partners - including BEWITAL as an advertising cooperation partner.

The BürgerBus is operated entirely on a voluntary basis: 32 dedicated drivers and a 47-strong association ensure that around 12,000 people reach their destination safely every year. Since 2018, the bus has covered over 400,000 kilometers - an impressive effort that would not be possible without the voluntary commitment on site.

The BEWITAL management emphasizes: “Our commitment to the new BürgerBus is only a small contribution to this huge effort by the many volunteers. Without them, there would be no public bus service to Winterswijk - and many children would have to use their parents' cab to go to the outdoor pool in Stadtlohn.”

Through this cooperation, BEWITAL not only shows its presence on the bus, but also its appreciation for the people who keep the bus running on a voluntary basis every day.

By the way: The association is still looking for committed drivers.
