Granted the RS guidebook I’m using is 5+ years old, but hadn’t heard about the free shuttle to the center until our B&B suggested it.
From your train, follow the Signs for Centrum shuttle. The stop is right outside the train station across a plaza (but not with the other big busses). It’s a mini bus that does a loop from the train station through historic Brugge. It runs every 25 minutes and holds about 12 +/- people. We only had a two block walk to our B&B from our stop.
Here’s the link.
We used it spring, 2024. It runs 7 days a week, 7 am- 7pm, and runs on time. Find the green and white sign ( with graphic ) by the curb. Walk straight out from the entrance to the train station.
Have a great trip!
Thanks Karen! This will come in very handy when I am in Bruges in less than two weeks (YAY!).
I'll just add that if the regular bus works better for you, all of the De Lijn buses and trams do now take Tap-to-Pay, it is a single "tap to get on", no tapping to get off.
Anyone with a more recent guidebook? If it’s not in there it should be. Even Google maps for public transportation does not show as option
This morning in Ghent we used credit card to tap and pay for bus on the way to train station.
I have the latest book and am happy to report that the free shuttle is described very nicely in it!
