Departing from Brussels

FlixBus provides several departure points throughout Brussels, ensuring a convenient start for your journey. It's recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure to ensure a hassle-free boarding process. Here is a detailed list of transport options to reach your FlixBus stop in Brussels:

• Brussels Metro: The Brussels Metro, which began operation in 1970, is a modern and efficient way to navigate the city. With four main lines covering key areas such as the European Quarter and the business district, it offers easy access to your FlixBus departure point.
• Premetro: A unique feature in Brussels, the Premetro operates like a metro but uses tram lines that run underground for part of their routes. It serves as a convenient alternative to the metro, providing additional coverage of the city.
• Brussels Tramway: With one of the world's largest tram networks, Brussels' trams offer a scenic and reliable transport option. Notable lines include lines 92 and 94, which traverse the upper city, and lines 32 and 33, which operate after 20:00 and connect Gare du Midi with the city center.
• Brussels Buses: Operated by STIB/MIVB, the extensive bus network in Brussels reaches areas not serviced by the metro or tram. With frequent services and easy access to route information and schedules, buses provide a flexible transport option.
• Brussels Commuter Rail (RER/GEN): The commuter rail network connects Brussels with surrounding suburbs and cities. Ideal for reaching farther destinations quickly, it's a great option if your FlixBus departure point is located outside the city center.
• Brussels Taxis: Available 24/7, Brussels taxis offer a convenient, direct way to reach your FlixBus departure point. Taxis can be hailed on the street, found at designated stands, or booked via mobile apps, making them an excellent choice if you have heavy luggage or prefer a door-to-door service.

Arriving in London

Upon your arrival at your FlixBus stop in London, you'll find yourself with a multitude of transportation options to get you to your accommodation or to start exploring the city immediately. London's public transport system is renowned for its extensive reach and efficiency, making it easy to traverse this vast city.

Means of Public Transport in London

• The London Underground (Tube): The most efficient and popular way to navigate London is undoubtedly the Tube. As Europe's largest metro system, it boasts 11 lines, over 270 stations, and more than 400 kilometers of track. The Tube operates until midnight, with the Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines offering 24-hour service on Fridays and Saturdays.
• DLR (Docklands Light Railway): The Docklands Light Railway is an automated light rail system that operates above ground and extends the reach of the Tube, especially in East London. It connects important areas such as Canary Wharf, Greenwich, Stratford, and London City Airport. Operating on the same schedule and fare system as the Underground, the DLR offers a seamless extension of the metro network.
• Buses: London's extensive bus network reaches even the most remote parts of the city. The iconic double-decker red buses offer a quintessential London experience. Although buses can be slower due to traffic, they offer great views of the city and are an enjoyable way to see London from above ground. Navigating the numerous bus routes can be complex for visitors, but it provides extensive coverage of the city.
• Tramlink: Primarily serving the southern suburbs, London's Tramlink is a reliable transport option for residents of Croydon and nearby areas. The modern tram service is useful to know if your travel plans take you to the southern outskirts of London.
• Taxis: London's famous black cabs are available around the clock and offer a convenient option, especially if you're carrying heavy luggage or prefer a direct, door-to-door service. Taxis can be hailed on the street, found at designated ranks, or booked via mobile apps. However, they are a more expensive option, particularly during peak times and at night.
