De resolutie roept de regering ook op om werk te maken van \u00e9\u00e9n combiticket voor al het openbaar vervoer.<\/p>\n<p>Momenteel betalen passagiers die hun fiets willen meenemen in de trein \u20ac3 tijdens daluren en in het weekend, en \u20ac5 tijdens de spits.<\/p>\n<p>De resolutie is echter niet bindend. De volgende stap is dat de regering - en bij uitbreiding de spoorwegmaatschappij NMBS - concrete actie onderneemt.<\/p>\n<h4>Fietsvriendelijker graag<\/h4>\n<p>Volgens NMBS namen vorig jaar meer dan 550.000 reizigers de fiets mee in de trein, een stijging van 14% ten opzichte van 2024. Volgens Vooruit-fractieleider Oskar Seuntjes, die de resolutie indiende, zouden veel meer mensen de trein combineren met de fiets als de omstandigheden zouden verbeteren.<\/p>\n<p>Naast het afschaffen van de vergoeding voor het meenemen van een fiets, moet er meer veilige fietsenstalling komen bij stations en meer ruimte in treinwagons om fietsen te stallen. Ter verduidelijking: Nieuwe treinen hebben minimaal 8 fietsplaatsen en via de reisplanner in de app en op de website kun je zien waar de fietswagon zich in de trein bevindt.<\/p>\n<p>Verder pleitte Seuntjes voor de invoering van een gecombineerd ticket dat geldig is voor treinen, trams en bussen, en voor fietsreparatiestations bij treinstations.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-186641 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20240710_080152.png?resize=640%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20240710_080152.png?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20240710_080152.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20240710_080152.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Geen wettelijke verplichting<\/h4>\n<p>Opgemerkt moet worden dat de resolutie niet bindend is. Het is een politiek signaal aan de regering, maar geen wettelijke verplichting.<\/p>\n<p>De NMBS wil het aantal fietsplaatsen tegen 2032 met minstens 50% verhogen ten opzichte van 2022. De spoorwegmaatschappij merkte eerder al op dat fietskaartjes in oktober goedkoper werden tijdens de daluren en dat vouwfietsen nu al gratis kunnen worden meegenomen in de trein.<\/p>\n<h4>Recordaantal fietsers op Gentse ring<\/h4>\n<p>De situatie in de stad Gent toont aan dat investeringen in veilig fietsen werken. Volgens Joris Vandenbroucke, Schepen van Mobiliteit (Voor Gent), heeft de aanleg van nieuwe fietspaden, fietsbruggen en veiligere fietspaden bijgedragen tot de gestage jaarlijkse toename van het fietsverkeer in Gent.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, het eerste jaar dat het MilieuFront Gent een fietstelling uitvoerde, werden 9.072 fietsers geteld die de stad inreden. Dit jaar werden 15.498 fietsers richting stad geteld. Over een periode van 12 jaar betekent dit een stijging van meer dan 70%. Ook opmerkelijk is dat het aantal bakfietsen blijft stijgen. Dit jaar telde de organisatie 726 bakfietsen die de stad in reden, vergeleken met 686 vorig jaar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_186642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-186642\" style=\"width: 1344px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-186642 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Untitled77-4.png?resize=640%2C274&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Untitled77-4.png?w=1344&amp;ssl=1 1344w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Untitled77-4.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-186642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trend in het aantal fietsers dat de R40 oprijdt door de jaren heen \/Gent MilieuFront<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Onveilige situaties<\/h4>\n<p>De stad is ook op zoek naar extra fietsparkeerplekken, waaronder nieuwe buurtfietsenrekken en een grotere fietsenstalling in het stadscentrum.<\/p>\n<p>Wat de fietsveiligheid betreft, zijn er volgens het Gents MilieuFront nog steeds ernstige problemen in de Gandastraat - een straat die druk gebruikt wordt door fietsers - en rond de Gentse Sint-Pietertunnels.
