Last night, leaving the festival was a disaster. Lots of kids stranded in the streets surrounding the festival desperate for a taxi. I heard offers for taxis of 300EUR to transport 4 to Antwerpen Centraal.
Is there an official taxi rank somewhere?
Do buses still run at midnight on Sat/Sun back to Antwerp? It looks like the 500 does, but do they staff it well or is it also going to be completely run over by the quantity of people?
I'm afraid to to again tonight and tomorrow for fear that I won't be able to afford to get back!
Next year, I will definitely be camping. Lesson learned. |
Fri night i waited at a 500 stop for a while didnt see any and there was a big crowd so i started walking somewhere else to look for a bus to mechelen. Of course 2 half empty 500s then go by me and they wouldnt let me on even though i was knocking on the door. So i wait at another 500 stop for an hour with a big crowd. Nothing shows, I left again, guess what a bunch of half empty 500s go by and they wont stop. Finally at 3 i found a taxi he wanted 70 euros to go to mechelen, that is way over the normal fare if im not mistaken so i told him i would just walk and he bargained down to 40. Thats what happens with non metered cabs
I think they were picking people up at the staff and artist parking lot. I have no idea but it was still far preferable to vegas edc.
Tonight i didnt even make it ive been stuck in bed all day with a nasty cold. I think it is clearing up and i should make it tomorrow.
