Hello!
In this video I explore both of the premetros in Brussels. One of which will be converted into a proper metro line soon.

Escalators can never break! They can only turn into stairs.

Finally, someone who says the Dutch names! Usually people always go for French despite Dutch making more sense as it's closer to English and also in many cases the original name. Congrats to you! Thanks for an enjoyable guide to the premetro. This video will serve as a historical document in a few years time!

both names are valid

@yagi3925 8 күн бұрын

Nathan is eigenlijk Nederlander, dus vandaar… Ik ben trouwens franstalig maar gebruik altijd beide namen wanneer ik Engels spreek. Eigenlijk is Brussel zo vefranst geraakt dat een heleboel nederlandstalige Brusselaren in hun eigen taal de Franse namen van straten en stations hanteren ! Eerlijk gezegd, vind ik dat jammer.

Thanks so much! It’s seems like the algorithm enjoyed this one more for some reason. I’ll have to investigate :)

So many cool stations in Bruxelles, I love close to the city no idea why I watched a video about my local transit system. Too bad you didn’t went to the tram 44 from Montgomery to tervuren which pass through the forest. Also the trains are quite nice I belgium and could deserve some appreciation.

I love the transit system in Brussels and I have indeed taken the tram to Tervuren Park.

Gare du Midi i.e. Midi means noon in French where the sun is located at noon. It's locate in the south direction. Gare du Midi (Noon's Station) = Gare du Sud (South station). In France le Midi is a the region in the south of France.

Yes and the same goes in Italian with “mezzogiorno” and in Hungarian with “dél”. Budapest’s “déli pályaudvar” is both the city’s “South” and “noon” station, just like Brussels’s midi.

The entire pre metro network should have been transformed to subway long time ago This city is a disgrace

@leonpaelinck 7 ай бұрын

No, they should not have torn down half of the tram network. They did it to make room for cars. They could have always added metros later without the extra premetro steps, like amsterdam did

Lemonnier, Rogier :the ier the end of French's word sounds like Yeah not year !

@louisnoirot2429 23 күн бұрын

No, not really. It sounds exactly like how an English speaker would say “year” however maybe your English isn’t perfect.

@louisnoirot2429 23 күн бұрын

Because phonetically there are the same (as in the “ear” in year and “ier” in Rogier). Btw, I am Belgian and perfectly bilingual in French and English.

I hate the Brussels Metro. My gf still lives in Brussels but she moves next year so I'll be happy to almost never use it again afterwards. Brussels is decaying before our eyes. Drug use and population change. A city of despair. High time to move out if you can.
