“Everything will depend on the efficiency of buses”
To compensate for the interruptions of 81, 82 and 97, the Stib sets up the Bus 96 line, between Flagey and Neerstalle.
But some are already skeptical. “”Everything will depend on the efficiency of the buses. Sometimes it works well. Sometimes not at all“, notes Claire, a young worker, who loses a direct connection to go to her work.”A bus is smaller than a tram, slow … And it’s less accessible for PMRs, people with strollers.“
Closed roads, impacted tunnels, interrupted trams…: here are the many projects to come this summer in Brussels
For some, this bus involves correspondence. “”I live in Woluwe. It is very practical to have a connection directly to Saint-Gilles“, Says Adriana.”Other means will have to be found “sighs already Fabien, from Forest. “”The changes never stop. They have split the 51, change lines … But the positive impact, I don’t see it. “
“It’s normal to have work”
This interruption is as a reminder linked to the in -depth renovation of the Moris and Bréart streets. These two closed streets will be completely transformed, with a parking abolition to solve the recurring problems of tram interruption due to poorly parked vehicles.
A perspective that puts certain users into perspective. “”It is true that there is a problem “points a Saint-Gilloise. “”This tram is so late because of poorly parked cars. “ “We are in a city, it’s normal to have work“, Pointe Toufik, living near the ponds.”We would like it to be shorter, that’s for sure. But hey … If there is work, we complain about the impact. If there is no work, we complain about the poor condition of the roads. “
