Future of mobile drug support bus uncertain again: "Risk of losing track of users"

The future of a mobile drug consumption bus in Amsterdam is uncertain after the municipality canceled its planned relocation due to intense neighborhood protests. The bus must vacate its current spot near Oosterpark by June 29, but a new location has yet to be determined. Officials warn that without a designated facility, drug-related nuisance in public spaces may increase and vulnerable users may lose access to care.
