Public transport in Brussels is expected to face significant disruptions on Tuesday, 12 May, due to a national strike against Federal Government measures.

The Brussels public transport operator, STIB, announced in a press release that unions have urged staff to join the strike against socio-economic public spending cuts.

Although it remains unclear how many employees will participate, major disruptions are anticipated.

The strike, combined with demonstrations planned in Brussels, is likely to affect operations on several metro, tram, and bus lines.

STIB has advised residents and visitors to seek alternative transport options where possible. Updates will be provided through the company’s website, mobile app, and display screens at stops.
