As I said before, I feel so happy that I do not need to take the metro in Brussels to go to work everyday.
Once upon I time....I decided to take it! like today.
8:45am
This is the picture of the Metro in MONTGOMERY, and I was going towards the centre:

As you can see above, there were 9 minutes difference between the previous and next metro.
YES 9 MINUTES!!!!!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT 9 MINUTES WAITING FOR THE METRO IN PEAK TIME, IN THE CAPITAL OF EUROPE!!!
I tried to make a picture of people inside the metro, but I couldn't move, and I almost couldn't breath. I was lucky enough to find a spot and get in. Not everyone could!!!!
In these conditions, how can authorities dare to encourage people to use public transport to go to work!!!!!!
I think that if I had to travel in the metro every day in those conditions I would never pay my tiket.
Below is the picture when I got off, the line in the other sense (outwards from the centre). It looked a bit better with maximum 4 minutes delay between metros.
9 minutes? And you complain about 9 minutes? This is nothing, my friend. I have been waiting in some ocasions up to 20 minutes. In special in lines 1A and 1B. Not to mention when you are waiting in Merode (or similar) for a train to Stockel (1B) and all that you get is three (or four) trains in a row to Delta or Hermann Debroux(1A).
ReplyDeleteWell I was talking about peak time, in working day, and above all about repetitive situations. I have seen these 9 minutes delay several times....and not in some ocasions, or when there where technical problems. But of course, everything is possible in the metro of Brussels.
