This
"subway" is really a "pre-metro", a series of tram lines coming
together underground for several stations.
Under the Pegasus plan
(approved in 2004) several tram lines will be built to the eastern
suburbs, using some of the tunnels abandoned in the 1980s, including
stations at Opera, Astrid, Drink
and Morkhoven.
In late 2009, a new tram line was anounced that will connect the city of Antwerp with the town of Ekeren.
