Bus operator Keolis is currently struggling with a shortage of drivers in Almere. The shortage has arisen due to a tight labor market and the resurgence of the coronavirus. Drivers are testing positive more often or have to go into quarantine. Due to the problems, retired bus drivers are now being deployed to fill the gaps in the schedule. According to Keolis, the problem of too few drivers has been going on for a long time. But in recent months it has become worse, says spokesperson Lotte Hendriksen. Travelers don't notice anything, we can still operate the full timetable in Almere, but it is more difficult to get everything done.
