“We have decided to start the season anyway, but are currently taking the financial risk ourselves. Therefore, in May, we will not operate every day.” ([waterbus.eu](https://www.waterbus.eu/en?utm_source=openai))
In response to the bridge works, the Waterbus will offer two special discovery tours on May 1. The first departs at 10:00 from Sainctelette, navigating the canal until Buda. The second, organized by Brussels By Water and Kanaaltochten Brabant, runs from 14:00 to 17:00, providing a guided journey from Sainctelette to Halle.
