My wife and myself must take the plane at 11h00 in the morning, three hours in advance we must be on the airport for a intercontinental flight .
From my hometown to Brussels airport the distance is 150 km.
For this distance , We need two days with Public Transport .
In my village there is a bus twice a day to a city where we can take a train. In the morning at 7h30 and on the evening at 16h30 . We cannot take the bus in the morning because from the bus station to the railway station is about 1h00 drive . To late for a train to the airport because from the train station to the airport is 1h30min . We will arrived on the airport and we will find out that the plane is already left.
So : We must take the bus on the evening , find a place to sleep near the airport for the night.
Cost for this poorly developed public transport in Belgium : Bus = 5 Euro + Train to a Hotel = 54 Euro + Hotel = 60 Euro (Hotel not to expensive ,15km from the airport) + Train to the airport next day = 36 Euro ( include special tax when you go to the airport with the train ) .
Total price one way : 155 Euro .......
Conclusion :
For which reason we should take public transport in Belgium, always not available and secondly to expensive .
By car ( Taxi) , it is easy , a lot faster and a lot cheaper.
Welcome to Belgium.
