It’s no longer necessary to own a car in Brussels. A web app allows you to book transport as a resident, or as a commuter when you arrive in Brussels. How many people, how much baggage, from where to where and around what time. The electric self-driving cars, the property of Brussels, drive around the streets completely automatically. More flexible than public transport. Cheaper than your own transport. No need to own a car, no need for parking spaces. Just a smartphone and app. A terminal could be placed in stations with a pay card for commuters who do not have a subscription. An idea suggested by Wim (Afffligem)
