Further info
An introduction of a new and improved public transport system where the number of bus stops will be increased and the route of the buses will fit the need of the public better. The change is seen as particularly useful for kids and teenagers who participate in sport activities in the near by towns and the system should make it easier for them to use public transport in stead of being driven by their parents from town to town in private cars.
