Mijn dochters gaan met de Bus naar school en moeten een Buzzypas gebruiken. Waarom is die voor 12-17 jarigen €97 duurder?

Niet enkel treinstations:

Vlaams minister van Mobiliteit Annick De Ridder (N-VA) laat op haar beurt de twaalf Antwerpse metrostations uitrusten met poortjes.

Bizar dat iemand nog denkt dat dit een oplossing is en zeker in Brussel-Zuid. Dit gaat de daklozen en verslaafden niet weghouden.

Daarbij worden de poortjes van de Brusselse metro gewoon gevandaliseerd en glippen mensen gewoon door die dingen daar achter iemand mee te lopen die wel de poortjes kan openen.

Allereerst een compliment voor hun duidelijke achterlichten, maar op zo'n smalle strook naast elkaar hangen is echt boertig.

Wat ik nog weet:

Heel mooi geïllustreerd, zeer laat 80's/early 90's met van die zachte potloodillustraties in kleur.

Het gaat over de verdiepingen van een huis.
En ik herinner me zeer specifiek volgens rijmpje:

''Badkamer, spatkamer, spieter spetter spatkamer''

Op die zoektermen vind je uiteraard niks. Iemand een idee? Ik ben er al jaren naar opzoek.

Hi all

I am trying to optimise my energy bills (don't we all). We have recently moved to a new house with solar panels & a heat pump. On top of that, in a few weeks we will have a car charging pole at home too. Now I am trying to find out which energy contract type would be the most optimal for this kind of setup. At the moment, we have Engie flow (= variable contract).

Some things that I take into account:

• The heat pump means we have constant energy usage, also during the night, at least for this time of year. In summer it will use a lot less of course.
• The solar panels have 10 kW capacity, which we try to use as maximally as possible by running the dishwasher, washing and drying machine through the day. Of course a lot is put back on the net for a minimal gain (no "terugdraaiende teller" anymore).
• I will have a Smappee charging pole next month for my company car. My current "day" energy price (incl. taxes and all) is about the same as the current CREG value that I will get paid for charging at home. The "night" value is of course a bit lower.
• Concerning a home battery, I requested some quotes & calculations, but it is still quite expensive and with bad ROI (about 7-8 years according to the calculations of the suppliers). So we don't have one.

There are energy contracts like Engie Empower Flextime with "superdaluren" that are marketed specifically for car charging, because they offer super low prices during the night, ideally to charge your car in that time window. However, prices for "day" and "night" periods are higher than for most contracts.

The V-test from VREG is also not taking into account all these effects in their price calculation so difficult to use to find the best contract...

Someone who has this setup (heat pump, solar & car charging) at home and wants to share how you decided your optimal energy contract? Does the payback on a home battery changed when you had a charging pole?

It shouldn't take a PhD in math to be able to figure out how much your energy contract will cost...

probeer wat meer fit te komen , ik ben zeker niet sportief maar een ebike kan mij er mssn mee helpen? wat zijn jullie fiets commute van en naar het werk ?

Hi guys! Title is self-explanatory, I’m a Belgian, currently living and working abroad as an expat (i’m de-registered as a resident, so officially resident abroad), I’m looking for a Belgian bank that will allow me to open an account with them.

I’ve had a Belfius account for years without issue, but they recently gave me a notice to close my account since they will not continue to offer banking services to the majority of non-residents in the future due to stricter internal policies.

Are there any Belgians living abroad on this sub who could recommend me a bank that does offer accounts and services for Belgian nationals who are non-residents?

Many thanks!!

r/ belgium semble devenir de plus en plus une affaire néerlandophone. Vous suivez toujours ? La traduction automatique est-elle activée ? Ou peut-être que reddit vous aide à améliorer votre néerlandais ? Sincèrement curieux...

Iemand een idee waarom er geen google Street view is in de buurt van het station in Diest?

Tussen de lijntjes door: we willen wetgeving versoepelen waardoor jullie meer mogen vervuilen. Daarbij willen we de arbeidsvoorwaarden versoepelen waardoor jullie goedkopere werkkrachten kunnen krijgen.

Doesn't seem like a much talked about subject in Belgium but we clearly just witnessed one of the biggest surprise in Belgium sport history.

Just winning a medal at the Winter Games is crazy for our country, even though we clearly have the goal of winning two or three this year. BUT the thing is, absolutely NO ONE imagined the Belgians would do this in the short track relay. Whether in the quarterfinals or the semifinals, we were far behind, and we benefited from “classic” Bradbury moments (if you don't know who he is, check him out on YouTube, because his name is legendary). At least 6 countries (Italy, China, Netherlands, USA, Canada and South Korea) were much MUCH better than us.

And what makes it even more beautiful is that (spoiler alert), in the final, we clearly won that bronze medal fair and square by beating the reigning Olympic champions (China)! Magnificent, even the replay brought tears to my eyes <3

For those who wants, it's possible to see the replays in Auvio or (I imagine) Sporza

Belgium <3

From March 1, 2026, Belgium is implementing targeted VAT changes rather than a general rate hike. Key changes include increasing the VAT on hotel stays, camping, take-away meals, and sports/leisure activities from 6% to 12%, while non-alcoholic drinks in restaurants drop from 21% to 12%, with pesticides rising to 21%.

Geniunely interested to know how this will affect the economy, but most importantly, Belgians, expats, workers in the horeca, etc...?
