Station Villo Lesbroussart

Bruxelloise dans l’âme mais anti transport en commun depuis toujours, je trouve l’alternative Villo parfaite !! Très faciule d’utilisation et vraiment intéressant à l’année vu le prix démocratique et surtout les stations fleurissent à Bruxelles donc il y a toujours bien un endroit ou remettre son Villo

Villo is a great service, at least since a larger number of Commune’s got their act together and decided to cooperate. Sure the bikes are heavier than elsewhere (Antwerp!) but the system is great in theory.
Where this particular station falls down is the TINY amount of bike stands. Whoever is responsible for planning these stops failed to understand that half the population around this area (Rue du Bailli, Lesbroussart) would happily cycle to work — as evidenced by the complete lack of bikes everytime I pass by here. Have you seen others like Gare du Midi? There are so many bikes there it boggles the mind. And I have yet to see anyone pedal off home with their suitcase tied to the back of their Villo!
It seems you need to be here before 8am to beat the ‘rush-​hour’ demand for bikes. Of course at the other end of the day, the bike stand is entirely full and you see teams of Villo renters cycling aimlessly around in the rain hoping to find a spot free or near by. Best solution is to use the phone application to check ahead.
Villo People: Please do a little research and realise that certain areas need more villo stands, it’s so completely, ridiculously, frustratingly obvious!
