Metro 5
Metro 5 is replaced by an M-bus between Erasme/Erasmus and Gare de l’Ouest/Weststation. The M-bus serves all stops on its itinerary and continues to Clémence Everard after Erasme/Erasmus. Travellers coming from metro lines 2 and 6 can transfer from the metro to the M-bus direction Erasme/Erasmus at Gare de l’Ouest/Weststation.
