‘To avoid the morning rush hour, students have to start school at least one hour later’, Member of Parliament Ineke van Gent (green party) says. Wow! Have your sleep out!
According to this politician, schools should adapt the time schedules in negotiation with the government, so that students do not have to enter the rush hour. ‘By changing the school times, people within traffic have more space’, van Gent says. She thinks that students, but especially the government and schools, cooperate in solving the mobility problem.
‘Of all travelers within the rush hours, 30 per cent is student. Half of them follows an higher educational course’, she continues. ‘Besides, the off-peak hours within public transport will be made better use of with this plan. It is a painless measure, which can have great effect!’
