Open your window and breathe in some fresh air because it’s official, Spring is finally here and it’s time for another edition of the Smart Move newsletter where you can catch up on the latest bus and coach news around the world.
If you’ve been hibernating for the last few weeks, then you might have missed that the European Commission has agreed to create a high level EU group to make the “Smart Move” by doubling the use of bus and coach in the next decade, Mexico is getting the green light to expand its innovative bus system, tourists are going ape for new bus stops in Thailand, and bus travel is becoming cool again in the US!
Don’t forget to also check out the highlights from the long distance bus and coach travel workshop. It includes a video message from French Transport Minister, Thierry Mariani, who talks about the opening of international cabotage lines in France.
On a much sadder note, we would like to express our deepest sympathy for the families who lost their loved ones in the Sierre coach accident in Switzerland on 13 March 2012. Words cannot possibly describe our sorrow at this difficult time, but our thoughts are with each and every one of you who have been affected by this tragedy.
