A word from our team

📶 For everyone who lives in Brussels and takes public transport around the EU-city, escalators have been a huge problem for years now ☹️ Brussels' 565 escalators break down about 200 times daily, though most can be restarted remotely within minutes. The main culprits are safety mechanisms that auto-stop when detecting risks, aging infrastructure (many from 1969), passenger misuse with heavy objects, and vandalism. Brussels Times wrote a detailed article on this very EU-bubble topic recently.

✍️ If there is a publicly documented issue you would like us to highlight to all our readers, we’d be grateful for your tip. Simply reply to this email.
