Local transit updates in Blankenberge and Moerdijk

Local transit services in Blankenberge, Belgium, and Moerdijk, Netherlands, are undergoing changes or facing visibility challenges.

In Blankenberge, the municipal council has approved new rates for the Centrumbus service. Starting in September, an annual subscription will cost 30 euros, while single trips will be priced at 3 euros. The city took over the service after De Lijn removed the line from its network on July 1, 2026, due to budget cuts. During July and August, the service operated for free, seeing an average of 99 passengers per day.

In Moerdijk, a free hop-on hop-off tourist bus service connecting Willemstad, Fort Sabina, Klundert, and Zevenbergen has been operating for five years, but drivers report low awareness among potential passengers. The service aims to promote local landmarks like Fort Sabina and the Mauritshuis, though ridership remains inconsistent on weekdays.
