La pétition est adressée à : Genk city council

We are writing to address a significant challenge faced by our students and staff concerning the daily commute between Hasselt and EnergyVille, Genk. The current public transport options are not only insufficient but have also become a considerable hindrance to our operational efficiency and environmental goals. The travel from Hasselt to EnergyVille, including a connection at Genk station, is notably unreliable, where even slight delays can result in missed buses, subsequently affecting punctuality at work and simply takes up too much time. Such frequent disruptions have understandably led to diminished productivity and escalating mental stress among our students and staff. Moreover, these travel difficulties extend to our collaborative efforts with various Flemish institutions and adversely affect our capability to host and manage significant events. The lack of adequate shelter at bus stops, particularly in adverse weather conditions, further discourages the use of public transport. The perception of Thor Park being remotely located further complicates our efforts to attract international talent. Additionally, the increased reliance on private vehicles contradicts our mission by contributing to higher pollution levels.
