 A 10-trip railpass (SNCB) will be offered to every Belgian after COVID-19

At the "superkern" meeting, it was announced that every resident of Belgium will be eligible for a rail pass on the SNCB network . Not familiar with the Rail Pass? It's equivalent to 10 train journeys, valid throughout Belgium. You can use it to travel to the coast or the Ardennes. Through this initiative, the Belgian government hopes to encourage local tourism. The bicycle surcharge will be temporarily waived. Keep this in mind, as it will be valid from July 1st until December 31st, 2020. The practical details are still to be finalized.

There is just like a Hic on the side of the SNCB.

The Belgian National Railway Company (SNCB) is less enthusiastic about this initiative. CEO Sophie Dutordoir lamented on her Twitter account that while promoting public transport is a good thing, the SNCB was apparently not consulted. Indeed, it raises serious safety concerns if all Belgians were to take the train at the same time. The 10 trips are valid for a limited time: December 31, 2020.
