STIB - MIVB those entrance - exit gates in the stations (self.belgium)

When I saw the first STIB - MIVB portals a few years ago, I was thinking they wouldn’t last long due to how agressive they are. Although being an honest commuter paying all my trips, I have been almost sliced in two by them multiple times (without injuries except for my self esteem ). but those doors slamming into elderly persons could send them to the hospital.

And now we even have to scan to get out of some stations, this is generating extra delay during peak hours, sometimes there are only two lanes for a whole fucking metro… Everyone having to scan, not everyone is ready to scan, sometimes the scanning does not work for a single person which adds another extra delay… There is no way to have a soooth exit flow.

If we want to reduce the number of cars in Brussels we need to find better solutions…

I rather like the free public transport system they have in Luxembourgh. No hassle and everyone shares in the cost of keeping cars off the road by paying taxes. You still wanna drive? Sure, but you still pay for public transport too.
