"Public transport operator EBS has placed an order with BYD for 73 electric buses, which will enter service in Zeeland from December 2026 under the brand Reizen Door Zeeland, the name under which the company will operate public transport in the province. The news is shared by EBS itself with a press note. The order comprises 64 twelve-metre buses and 9 fifteen-metre buses, with the first vehicles expected to be delivered in summer 2026."
"The buses, reportedly, will feature comfortable seats with purple upholstery, the Reizen Door Zeeland colour, and green priority seats for easy visibility. The floor will have a light wood effect for a calm, natural feel. Passengers will have access to free Wi-Fi and USB-C charging points at every seat. EBS worked with stakeholder organisations to enhance accessibility, with clear colour contrasts on handrails and stop buttons, and a dedicated wheelchair space opposite the rear door."
