@steltenpower no idea... not into law i think it is not allowed maybe the industry should copy the plant milk brands and sensor the names

Vegan S**sage or a Plant B*rg*r

Anyone want to join an illegal bbq party with vegan burgers, vegan saussages and vegan snitzels? With a soy yougurt sause or something?

Calling those names will be illegal so it is a highly illegal barbecue! Come at own risk, no cops.

I love to come up with nonsense metrics. Today when making expense reports: euros per megabyte of PDF

@q because it is still the 2006 windows based UI... they only manage to replace small parts of it... honestly a suprise they managed this change... yet it still cannot do tarrif suggestions

Maartje @maartje.dev · 1d

Some more interesting info came out in the details:

* travel interuption (leaving train along route to continue later) is no longer allowed!
* zone tickets are no more, no more unlimited local travel in tarrif zone on a return ticket

Social media team fixed theirs!

Same picture with text and photoshopped graffiti away

In further sad news SNCB fired their whole photoshopping department and now publishes PR photos with trains with graffiti tags!

the picture of that card seems very unreal and probably a placeholder. Why? It is on the old NMBS style!

Well buying a ticket will be easy no?
Tickets must be liked to your Train+ on purchase! This will probably solve the bahncard style double ticket check. And oh.... it is an actual QR code not an UIC barcode??

Does Train+ affect international travel?
Maybe

* EuroCity has a Train+ offer.
* SNCB connection supplements on international travel have a Train+ off peak version now.
