Awful awful awful! I am not a fan of the Brussels métro. This station in particular! Poor planning,…read moreor they're trying to squeeze out as much money from Belgians and tourists as possible. It's a two platform station, and they aren't accessible to each other from inside the station. That means if you get on the wrong platform, and you've already paid your fare, you have to go back outside, go to the correct platform, and pay again. Ticket machines only take coins, not notes. So if all you have on you are Euro notes, or a non-EU credit card, you're screwed. Try doing that when you're pressed for time to get to the train station and you are scrambling to find coins and make your train.
