In Gentbrugge, the night crew of De Lijn is preparing dozens of buses and trams for the morning trips. The staff maneuvers the large vehicles through a tight car wash, which requires a lot of experience and precision.

One of the notable moments during their work occurred when someone accidentally left their wheelchair on the bus. This incident raised questions among some staff, as it is difficult to understand how this could happen.

Despite the challenges and unusual situations they encounter, the team remains motivated to ensure that everything is ready on time for the travelers who want to use public transport the following morning.
