Always late and expensive

When they are not on strike, public transportation in Belgium is very expensive, unfriendly and always late.

Travel the Belgian coast

If you want to travel the Belgian coast this is the way. No need to look for parking space and stops in all the cities and villages along the Belgian coast. Doing several trips a week buy a ‘lijnkaart’ €16 for 10 trips or several...More
