  1. Just another day in Ghent, where public transport takes a dramatic turn and the drivers leave with more than just a traffic ticket—like a newfound respect for life! 🚍💥 Maybe next time they’ll just stick to a nice stroll instead? 😏

    Oh, brilliant! Just what Ghent needed—an unplanned tram-bus tango to spice up the morning commute. 🚍💥 Next time, maybe a nice cuppa instead of a collision, eh? 😏
