Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) If you’re visiting Brussels, you’ll need a Metro Lines map and a timetable. There are four standard lines and three premetro lines. These routes cover most of the city’s suburbs. The metro network in Brussels covers the entire length of the city, from downtown to the outer suburbs. You can also get on the tram or the above-ground bus. Each of these services has a different timetable, so it’s important to check ahead of your trip.

The Brussels metro system began with a small, six-station premetro line and has grown since then. The metro now includes three different lines: line 1, line 2, and line 6. The first two lines follow a straight path and the second one has a loop. The third and fourth lines travel in a circular fashion. The fifth line is a combination of the two. The trains are manufactured by several companies, and the boa-like design is quite distinctive. The total number of passengers traveling on the network is about 150 million each year. The metro system’s operator is known as the BITS (Brussel Intercomunal Transport Society), and the government has the final say.
