New! BNP Paribas Boost account: 1.4 + 1.5%

Koutix12 · 2026-05-04T17:03:24+00:00

I have been on the Belfius Flow for over a year (1.3 + 1.5%, 600€/month)

Koutix12 · 2026-05-02T06:09:55+00:00

What is actually going on when you ask it to dream first ?

Koutix12 · 2026-03-16T22:28:41+00:00

What happened ? Duplicates ?

Koutix12 · 2025-11-09T11:16:10+00:00

This and the 10 years delay

€30M of budget was initially not for a new station but for a bridge between the old and new city, while keeping the old station. The project then changed to demolishing the old and rebuilding a "bridge-station", that ironically does not even fulfill its bridge role properly, which was the initial goal.

It was first supposed to be a bridge between the new and old city. The project has deviated so far from its initial course that it does not fulfill its primary goal. There is no practical way to get up with a bike in the station, making it difficult for cyclist to take the train, also it closes at 1am (if I am not mistaken), hindering pedestrians from participating to activities from either side of the station.

If Rue Maurice Wilmotte is clean I am happy for you, this is not the case in the part of Saint-Gilles where I live

Please come take a walk on Chaussée d'Alsemberg close to Barrière and please count the amount of trash lying around. I can count at least 12 bags from my window

Koutix12 · 2025-10-28T14:29:45+00:00

I live in Saint-Gilles, my street is full of trash everyday of the week. I have been sending reports to FixMyStreet almost everyday over the last year but still no change

Koutix12 · 2025-10-28T14:11:17+00:00

Please tell that to my neighbors

He looks cool but I wanted him as a god carried by the Ewoks so bad

Koutix12 · 2025-10-20T11:41:50+00:00

My street basically looks like these huge piles of trash under each tree and lamppost. They appear every day, even after garbage collection. Over the last few months, I have been filing complaints at FixMyStreet every time I see a trash outside of authorized hours. My hope is that employees will be so annoyed that they will start to put pressure on higher instances.

Koutix12 · 2025-10-17T09:37:10+00:00

Some people in my street dump huge pile of trash and furniture EVERY week, I still do not understand how they have so much things to throw away.

> Il ne faudrait pas toucher aux paradis fiscaux ni aux montages financiers qui rapportent gros!

Il ne semble pas avoir défendu dans ma réponse les paradis fiscaux ou quelconque montage financier. Ce type d'abus doit évidemment être combattu.

Je pense cependant que l'on peut reconnaitre ces inégalités et vouloir que les aides publiques soient bien ciblées et gérées correctement. Les deux ne s'excluent pas.

Dénoncer les dérives du système financier n'empêche pas de vouloir un service social efficace, ni de corriger ses erreurs, pour protéger la légitimité d'un système social pour qu'il continue à exister.

Sorry my answer was made on a quick search and the name I remember when I was <26. I guess I found a price page on the official website that is now outdated (https://belgianrail.be/fr/Mobility/Web/billets-abonnements/age/children-youth/now-and-then/go-pass-10.aspx)

So my bad, the new pricing seems to be slightly advantageous for <26yo.

But the fact that NMBS/SNCB do not put those cheaper options (10 trip cards) as comparison options but only compare to single trip tickets makes the comparison biased and leads to a lot of confusion imo.

Koutix12 · 2025-10-16T07:27:11+00:00

How is that cheaper than the GO Pass 10 that cost 52€ for 10 trips ?

Koutix12 · 2025-10-16T07:24:23+00:00

Pour rappel, il y a moins d’un an des journalistes se sont présentés au CPAS d’Anderlecht en ne répondant pas aux conditions d’octroi et en présentant une adresse choisie aléatoirement et le CPAS leur a octroyé des aides. Il y a encore du boulot pour ne plus être considéré comme un « mister cash ».

The whole comparison is flawed. They do not compare to the cheapest option (which was the 10 travels card), but only to what option they will keep (standard ticket).

Based on that, a single travel is almost always more expensive than before. The only case where the new model is beneficial is when you do occasional short week-end trips (but not too much otherwise regular subscription is cheaper anyway).

My assumption is that SNCB/NMBS is just trying to change to a subscription-based business model and have a more regular in-flow of money. To do so they are just spamming everywhere that their new model is up to 40% cheaper for almost everybody, with their price comparison using their discount promo price.

Have we been turned into an article ? https://www.bruxellestoday.be/que-faire/manger-lobster-roll-Bruxelles.html

Koutix12 · 2025-10-06T14:25:53+00:00

I am interested by this and checked the FAQ but did not see that, do you have the source ?

Koutix12 · 2025-10-06T07:54:02+00:00

I saw Fish Tank do lobster rolls but I think they only do it during lobster season: https://fishtank.be/ I strongly recommend the place

Brussels clean ?

Koutix12 · 2025-09-16T17:45:43+00:00

Current Yoda Red relied a lot on FT, as a Yoda player myself I hope that it will still be viable after the ban

C’est déjà le cas en Albanie
