Colleges and universities should adapt their teaching periods so that students no longer need to occupy the train during rush hours, which has long been a desire of NS.
Now it appears that educational institutions in the region west in any case do not intend to adjust their teaching periods, according to a tour of Omroep West. Adjusting the grids according to educational practically unfeasible.
Because old trains of the track have been removed and the new replacement are not yet in, NS to make this year a shortage of material. The result? Overcrowded trains, especially during rush hour. Therefore called NS CEO Roger van Boxtel colleges and universities to diversify their teaching periods. Follow the students later in the morning and evening classes, then would students come to college with the train traveling more spread over the day and the crowds would decrease during rush hour.
COMPLEX
With effect from next academic year, the new timetables should be introduced, but most educational institutions lay the desire of NS aside. It is, they are too complex for the grids to throw.
Leiden University calls the adjustment "technically hell" because it has major consequences for the planning of a large group of people. The university in the city, TU Delft and Inholland are not going to do anything with the call.
Working from home
Eric Trinthamer, spokesperson for NS, regrets that education does not want to cooperate. "Every day there are 7 million people, more or less time on the road, and that there are just more," he told Omroep West. ,, You have to bring something as a society. Solutions include spreading lectures and offering more online education. "
Students account for a quarter of all "kilometers traveled 'by NS but Trinthamer admits that the problem not only through education. NS also requires ministries and large companies to stimulate a 'small fee', for example by working at home.
