As a result of a strike notice from the trade union organizations on Friday, October 9, De Lijn expects disruption during the services. The management deeply regrets that this action will affect travelers again. The strike notice of the three unions at De Lijn applies to all of Flanders on Friday 9 October. It is currently unclear how great a possible nuisance will be. The impact of the strike can vary widely from region to region.

“We believe that a strike is completely irresponsible at the moment, the unions are jeopardizing the future of the line as a whole”, says Roger Kesteloot, director general of De Lijn.

These campaigns come after a week of previously positive image from De Lijn. At the start of the new school year, it became busier on the buses and trams. That is why they did everything they could to get everyone to their destination quickly and safely. In September, for example, they already deployed the maximum transport capacity and reviewed the trip schedules. Yet this turned out to be insufficient em dtherefore, Minister Lydia Peeters decided to set up a partnership with coach companies. This collaboration starts on Monday 5 October. From then on, private buses ran behind the buses The line. So they follow the same route and stop at the same stops. Only when it starts to get busy on vehicles do you take a coach that can be recognized by the labelfortified ride '.
