Renovation works have been announced for just over a dozen metro stations in Brussels which are slated to be completed in the spring of 2021 at the earliest.
Brussels' public transport company STIB/MIVB will undertake the renovations in order to guarantee access to the service to commuters with limited mobility.
Out of a total of 69 metro stations in Brussels, only 48 are accessible to wheelchair users or other transport users with limited means of mobility, according to BX1.
