    Warum ist NMBS so teuer?


    Meine Freundin und ich haben einen Tag frei und wollten nach Ostende fahren. Ich habe mir gedacht, lasst uns mit dem Zug fahren, aber verdammt, das ist teuer. Wer ist für diese Preisgestaltung verantwortlich?

      If you are less than 26 you can get cheaper tickets, a 10-rides-card could potentially also be cheaper

      Wtf man… this is outrageous, hope this gets addressed for the next elections

      For 99 euro you can get a “Standard Multi”, 10 single journeys. For distant trajectories, it’s often a good deal.

      If you’re over 25, trains in Belgium are very expensive indeed. I haven’t taken a train in 20+ years.

      Whut €102 for 2 people. I mean petrol is expensive these days but with that money I can drive like 3 times to oostende.  A week ago I took the train from zaventem to berchem which was 30 minutes and it was €14. I traveled in puglia Italy for 2 weeks and trains there are relatively cheap. For example from rome to bari which is 4 hours by train it was €45 per person and it’s a distance of 450km.

      400 km in car
      6.5l/100km
      26l = +- 44EUR
      Parking Full day 25 €
      +- 70 euro in total.

      So yes, price should be around that to be competitive.
      You do get peace and quiet, no traffic stress and directly into the city. Question is: is it worth the 15€ per person for you or not…

      It’s really not that bad. It’s one of the cheapest in Europe… What I’m also seeing is that a lot of people have no idea how much their car actually costs.

      Because your employer or your school can pay for it, not so many people pay for the full price.

      And zlso, do you have any idea of the price of a car ?

      I recently turned 25 and got faced with the reality of the STIB yearly subscription costing 520€. No trains, no DeLijn, just STIB

      Like jesus christ STIB’s service is mediocre even for 12€/year

      Always full, always hot and smelly, constant technical issues, they go on strike every other week. If a metro is removed from service in peak hours you end up on a station literally full of people.

      Brussels’ officials scream for ecology left and right but I wish they’d give me a single reason not to use my car for my daily commute instead of public transports. 

      Why the fuck would I torture myself in the metro when I can sit in my car with AC, with music and for which I have a parking spot at my destination

      Here in Scotland a similar journey (my town to Inverness, 122km) would be €220 for two people 💀 I’ve always been impressed with SNCB services, mostly used IC between Brussels and Bruges and the standard is way better than we have here

      But public transport should always be free to use in my eyes so this price is still too high…

      Take a rail pass and it will cost you 40 euro which is perfectly adequate price. Although that option is only useful for people who will ues the train 10 times this year so if you are tourist it is not good idea.

      But I do agree, trains are expensive here. We should sell all cars and stop maintining roads and build trains and hire more humans.
