Flemish public transport company De Lijn is constantly increasing its efforts to guarantee an eco-friendly public transport. To emphasize its involvement, De Lijn signed the international charter to support nature. In a new campaign De Lijn shows once again it is taking its green mission seriously.

In order to fullfil its role as the most green means of transport, De Lijn continuously invests in green measures: using 100% green energy, installing particulate filters on its buses, introducing Euro-5 norm diesel engines, … Even on an administrative level it developed a number of projects, like using recycled paper.

The result of this green attitude: when taking the bus or tram, you can reduce your ecological footprint by no less than 50 procent.

Flemish public transportation company De Lijn uses real bus & tram tickets to replace the traditional business cards of their employees. The bus & tram tickets are made from paper and are about the same size as regular business cards.

Duval Guillaume created bus & business cards for workers at De Lijn with their name and personal details printed on.

Since the original bus & tram ticket are used, you actually receive a free ride with a bus or tram as someone from De Lijn hands you over their business card. Therefore the baseline on each ‘bus ticket’ slash ‘business card’ reads: “You can always reach me with this card.”

The ad ‘Save 8 lives’ for the donor association Re-born to be Alive has been voted best non profit ad by the national newspaper De Standaard. This year’s winner was praised for ‘its sexy and surprising interpretation of a very serious topic’.

It’s the sixth time De Standaard organises its so called ‘Standaard Solidarity Award’. The winner will be rewarded with free advertising space.
