- The Brussels metro opened in 1976 and was converted to metro from premetro. The system consists of 4 metro lines and 3 premetro lines which are not included in this video. The metro uses 3 different train types with the newest being the M7 type trains and the oldest being the U5s. It is the only metro system in Belgium and the stations have a French and Dutch name as Belgium is a bilingual country. Tickets are integrated with the rest of the transit system by the MOBIB card which can hold single ride tickets and day passes valid on all modes of transport in Brussels. Something that I noticed was that on some parts of line 6 and 2 the trains ran on the left side rather than the right. Then on other parts of the lines it was the opposite. I don't know the reason for this but I have only ever seen it in Brussels and I don't know why it happens. This metro system is great with modern stations and trains as well as good connections to points of interest in the city. I would certainly recommend it to anyone in the city as it is the cheapest way to get around. Enjoy the video :)

Nice video
Perhaps the switch between left and right running is because the lines converted from trams ran on the right because of former street running, while new-built lines base the running direction on the national railway system (which runs on the left like in France). A clearer example can be seen in Charleroi, where the tracks literally cross over each other on the level when switching between the central tunnels and the former interurban tram lines (The Tim Traveller made some interesting videos about this). Also in Paris, the metro runs on the right (as it was based on tram lines), whereas the RER runs on the left.
Maybe, I couldn’t find anything online but then again I didn’t dig too deep. That would be a good explanation as to why tho it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Actually, metros run on the left between Gare Du Midi and Roi Baudoin because The stations on this section of line have island platforms. Passenger can thus always exit the Metro on the right hand side. It was practical to do it after Gare Du Midi because at this station the Metro tracks are stacked.
ok jasmin
Brussel metro 😃
Charleroi metro 💀
Frankly, what's the point of the blue light flashing at the bottom of the train as if it were a discotheque?
A fixation with technology, probably.
They use it at busy stations as a way to warn passengers of a moving train
@@Transport_International Humans have been given eyes and ears by Mother Nature to warn them of many surrounding things, such as moving trains.
This infantile fixation with technology is really getting out of control.
