Saying YES to Port Basin 3 in Basel

Posted by George Raymond on November 2, 2020

George Raymond on the 29 November 2020 referendum in Basel:
YES to Port Basin 3

I work in logistics and have been living for 30 years next to the city of Basel in Switzerland. The Swiss economy – and above all, our small and mid-sized companies of the Basel region – live from imports and exports. That’s why we need an international transport system that is high-performance, but also safe and environmentally friendly. With fewer traffic jams, accidents and CO2 emissions. This means that much more of our goods need to ride on trains and ships.

Here in Basel, Port Basin 3 offers a unique opportunity to connect trains with ships directly and efficiently – within Switzerland. That’s why I’m saying YES to Basel’s Port Basin 3.

YES is what 57.1% of the voters also said in Basel’s 29 November 2020 referendum on Port Basin 3.
