2024-08-12: According to reports, workers at De Lijn have called for a local public transport strike on Wednesday (14 August) in coastal areas of the country. Only two out of every ten buses in Ostend will operate during the strike, while six out of every ten buses in Westhoek will operate during the strike. Only one in ten trams will operate in coastal areas during the strike.
If the strike proceeds as scheduled and is followed by enough workers, local traffic disruptions are to be expected. Before and after official strike hours, disruptions are also possible due to organisational reasons. Travellers should schedule additional time for their journey.
