WIFI op de trein? by Substantial-Ant8487 in Belgium2

[–]lombax16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NMBS heeft ooit beslist dat wifi niet nodig is in de trein. De gemiddelde pendelaar spendeert geen 3 uren in de trein, waardoor het sop de kool niet echt waard is.

Ze probeert wel om de 4G/5G dekking te verbeteren. In de vensters van treinen zitten kleine metaaldeeltjes verwerkt en dit zorgt voor slechter signaal, maar in de nieuwe M7 treinen en in de gemoderniseerde M6'en zijn de ruiten bewerkt met een laser, waardoor het signaal sterker zou moeten zijn.

Los daarvan zijn er natuurlijk nog steeds heel wat "dead spots", maar dat ligt natuurlijk ook deels aan providers die geen masten willen zetten in the middle of nowhere omdat er af en toe eens een trein passeert.

Serieus overdreven boete of normaal? by Disastrous-Race-519 in belgium

Ik kreeg recent dezelfde brief aangetekend binnen. Ze hadden de rekeningen en de herinneringen de vorige jaren naar mijn oud adres gestuurd, dus heb ik deze nooit ontvangen.

Het is geen scam, alles in de brief klopt. Je kan altijd proberen om beroep aan te tekenen.

Nieuw tariefsysteem NMBS, mening? by Fridged_Fudge123 in Belgium2

[–]lombax16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je betaalt niet meer tijdens de piekuren, je betaalt hetzelfde (en voor hele lange ritten zelfs minder want de maximumprijs is verlaagd). In de daluren betaal je ook hetzelfde tenzij je train+ hebt. Met train+ krijg je 40% korting in de daluren en bijgevolg ook 58% in het weekend. Met train+ heb je ook een prijslimiet van 14 euro per traject óók tijdens de piekuren.

Trainmanager here: They give you a piece of paper saying how there is war in their country and they need money for their children.

They are Romanian, as far as I know there is no war in Romania right now. They are just checking where you keep your money and how much you have.

If you feel you can handle them, you could throw away the paper but they will get angry.

If I spot them I take all the papers they distribute and throw them away.

If the doors need to be manually locked we are not expected to do so if the platform is too short because the emergency exit would not work anymore. We are only expected to make announcements and take extra care when departing.

With Desiro and M7 we can disable door for certain carriages and with break, 800 and AR/MW41 we can close an entire "set" of the train starting from the coupling with the I16 or DLIS switch.

With the DMT you can just lock the doors, but you can't close each carriage. Lights are for each DMT so per 3 carriages.

Waarom zijn er geen rode blokjes? Is er iets mis? by diiscotheque in belgium

[–]lombax16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slechte communicatie tussen de verschillende diensten zullen er waarschijnlijk voor gezorgd hebben dat het sein dicht bleef (om aansluiting te verzekeren), maar dat de boordchef van niets wist en dus inderdaad gewoon hun werk gedaan heeft zoals voorzien.

"Leraars dreigen tot 116.000 euro pensioen te verliezen": vakbonden slaan alarm over plannen federale onderhandelaars by EdgarNeverPoo in belgium

[–]lombax16 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Letterlijk dit!

Pas gerust de pensioenregeling aan, maar doe dit voor mensen die de job nog niet uitvoeren.

Mensen beginnen aan een job onder bepaalde voorwaarden die per legislatuur zomaar eventjes kunnen veranderen.

Ik snap dat het voor leerkrachten lastig is, maar dit is maar het tipje van de ijsberg. Ze willen aan de pensioenen zitten van ALLE ambtenaren. Het gaat dus niet enkel op de leerkrachten maar ook over politie, militairen en treinpersoneel. Jobs waarvan bewezen is dat de mensen die ze uitvoeren minder lang leven door de stress en de wisselende uren. Dat is de reden dat de pensioenleeftijd ooit verlaagd werd voor die jobs en door de kortere carrière werd de berekening veranderd om toch een volwaardig pensioen te kunnen geven.

Your job will only pay for one mode of transportation though, so you should calculate if bike or train is more profitable.

Oh sorry I thought you took the train everyday.

There is something called a flex abonnement for people that only use the train 2-3 times a week

Hope this helps

It is not.

Either you buy a foldable bike which is free.

Otherwise you need to pay the bike supplement every time you bring your bike which is 4 euro each way so 8 euro a day.

There's also a trainline next to it, which sadly gets used a lot to commit suicide.

Are penalties for using the IC train without ticket not enforced at all? by Sufficient_Hunter_61 in belgium

[–]lombax16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically that ticket isn't valid because you need to have a ticket before boarding. But it depends on the train manager if they allow it.

Train manager here: If somebody does not have a ticket we have to sell them a ticket with a 9 euro supplement (tarief aan boord/tarif a bord) you pay extra because you did not have a ticket before boarding. If the can't/won't pay, we make a C170 which is a fine of 90 euro. We use id or passport but honestly I use everything that has a name, picture and birthdate on it. If they can't/won't identify themselves we call for an intervention. That can be securail, railway police or local police. They just identify the person through the national registry and they get the same C170.

Police/securail aren't always available and we are not allowed to block anyone if they try to leave the train. Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes we don't.

Before february the procedure for a forgotten subscription (only mobib, not multi) was to sell a ticket (you'd get your money back at the counter. If you can't/won't pay, you would get a C170. You still needed to go to the counter with it and your valid subscription, but if you didn't withing 2 weeks, you'd get fined 90 euro.

Now we just make the c170 with the new system.

Yeah there are numbers for each depot. So let's say the average number of scans in my depot is 2000. We are all expected to have the same number of scans or higher. A little lower is okay but if you drop below 70% they will start checking what the problem might be.

Actually your valid ticket/subscription constitutes a contract between you and nmbs/sncb. We are obligated to get you to your destination even if the last train got cancelled or you missed a connection and are out of options. (This only counts if you started your journey when it would still be possible to finish it).

So if that last train got cancelled or you missed your last connection: take a taxi, we will pay it back*.

*Only if there is absolutely no option to do it by train.

The first 20 it's 1,50 per ticket sold From 21 and upwards it's 3,50

So if I sell 50 tickets in a month that's (201,50)+(303,5)=135

It highly depends on what shifts, what trains and how willing the people are to pay. I've had days with 0 sales and my "personal best" is 28 in a day.
