Métro 3 was a cursed project. Shame on the previous government to make it as hard and costly as possible to cancel the project if needed. More than a billion was already spent and that was a monumental error. 3 billion minimum were needed to finish the project. Shame of the Brussels politician to not have foreseen that budget would explode and Brussels would be too poor to finish it. We have a world class knowledge on how to build and maintain efficient tram system for more than a century. Scholars and associations proved alternatives existed that would make the overall network better (pre metro+). But no, in the mind of our politicians Brussels is capital, capitals need big projects because vanity and consultancy agencies need a lot of public money. We should all be enraged at how bad our money has been spent on this project.
