“Bus stop to direction Antwerpen. Waited around 5 minutes in the late afternoon. Cars drive very slow, and it's very easy for them to stop. Reaching this spot is very easy too. Take tram #3 to direction Esplanade, and at the tram stop, and exit from the small corridor between the stairs and the fence on the right.”

“A very bad spot for getting to Antwerpen. After a long wait, finally, one guy took us. The problem is that there is a lot of traffic, wouldn't recommend bus stations in general. (1 M, 1 F)”
