After disproving the arguments of Rijkswaterstaat, the question arises for Van Kuyk: why does the ferry have to be taken out of service? They have been assured that it has no financial reason, but Van Kuyk does not fully believe that. ”I think it’s a cutback.” An alternative to maintaining a connection at this location is a bicycle bridge. “But even then, the ferry may only be taken out of service once this bridge has been completed,” says Van Kuyk firmly. Veneklaas envisions a bicycle bridge in the future. But: ”It takes money and time for that. That will take at least a few years.”
