New in 2009: Free transportation to the Brussels-South railway station

From Sunday afternoon till Sunday evening, FOSDEM will provide free transportation by bus from the conference site (ULB Campus Solbosch) to the Brussels-South railway station which has the best connections to Brussels Airport and neighboring countries.

The FOSDEM bus will pick up people at the main bus stop on the 'Adolphe Buyllaan/Avenue Adolphe Buyl' road about 100 meters away. We will provide signalization so you'll have no problem finding it.

The FOSDEM articulated bus has a capacity of 140 travelers. We hope you enjoy this free service!
