VRT NWS joins in with free shuttle bus that civil servants will soon not be allowed to use: "It was promised to us"

Starting January 1, 2027, Flemish government employees will no longer have access to a free shuttle bus between Brussels North station and the Herman Teirlinck building. This decision is part of cost-cutting measures, although the service will continue for other companies in the area. Many employees express disappointment, citing safety concerns in the neighborhood and the harsh winter conditions. Some employees, particularly those with mobility issues, feel the loss of the shuttle will significantly impact their daily commute. Alternatives such as public transport tickets are suggested, but employees are worried about safety while walking in the dark.
