Public transport across Brussels and the wider region—metros, buses, and trains operated by SNCB, De Lijn, and STIB—are expected to be heavily affected or shut down on strike days, with possible partial flight disruptions.

De Lijn will operate a limited service under an alternative plan starting the evening of November 22, with ongoing updates as the situation develops.

Travelers should verify updates with airlines and transport authorities, consider postponement or extra time, and have alternatives such as taxis or rental cars ready.

Official updates will come from SNCB, De Lijn, and STIB, with Belgian railway and transport websites providing real-time information as situations can change rapidly.

Useful sources for updates include belgiantrain.be, De Lijn, and STIB, and travelers should plan flexibly for route changes.

The protests follow a large Brussels demonstration on October 14 and signal broader labor unrest impacting transport and public services.

Stib in Brussels and De Lijn in Flanders, along with TEC, are anticipated to face significant disruptions, with real-time updates promised across multiple channels.

The German Foreign Office warns of significant travel disruptions in Belgium at the end of November 2025 due to a three-day strike, potentially affecting transport and flights.

Officials warn that such disruptions are common in Europe, citing past strikes in France and tourist areas like Corsica; warnings come from the German Foreign Office and the Austrian Foreign Ministry.

Rail workers have given notice for a three-day strike beginning late on November 23, followed by a general strike across public services on November 25 and a national strike on November 26.

Organized actions cover public and private sectors, including administrations, municipalities, hospitals, and a national demonstration; teachers are invited to participate on November 25.
