The province of Utrecht must invest in public transport three tons of jobs around the Start tour. That RTV Utrecht Monday based on a letter from the provincial executive.

The letter states that a large part of the public transport is not regulated by the organization of the Tour de France and that therefore the accessibility of the city and hospitals UMC Wilhelmina Children and Diakonessenziekenhuis compromised.

The Tour organization itself has not enough money, so the province should pay for the extra cost. A spokesman for the organization revolves around the accessibility of the province and

the city, not the event itself.

“The province is the concessionaire of public transport by bus and as such responsible for the accessibility “said the spokesman. However, the Tour organization takes a portion of the costs for shuttle buses to and from the event for its own account
