This week we overheard an interesting news story at the Dutch business news radio BNR on an innovative way for package delivery; at the bus stop. The Dutch province of South Holland and the company Izipack are starting a trial of a few months during which packages will be delivered to lockers nearby bus stops, where people can pick them up. If this system is implemented throughout the province, it could take a thousand orders per day in the province off the road. Specifically, the intention is to create a network of collection points, so that everyone must walk a maximum of 500 meters to collect their package.
