Utrecht’s biodiversity includes bumblebees and honeybees and they are sure to love the new flowering plants! Not only the bees but also the addition of the plants on the roofs of the bus stops will help capture the fine dust in the air as well as store rainwater.

The city has further plans in the future. By the end of 2019, they plan on introducing 55 electric buses. This is in line with their plan of having a public transport system by 2028 which will be absolutely non-polluting and sustainable. Hence the buses will run on electricity produced by Dutch windmills.
