Nuisance action: “65% of all bus rides end; at Coastal tram 35%”

De Lijn warns of nuisance today due to the national trade union action. According to the public transport company, six out of ten journeys will be made in Flanders today.

There are some differences at the provincial level. For example, De Lijn expects the most nuisance in East Flanders and Antwerp, where only 55 percent of the journeys will be made in both provinces. This is followed by Flemish Brabant with 60 percent of the transport that does run. In West Flanders this is 65 percent and, after all, in Limburg seven out of ten vehicles will be on the road.
