About the Kallosluis – Liefkenshoek crossing
Seventeen minutes up the Scheldt from Kallosluis to Liefkenshoek, both of them on the left bank inside the Waasland port area. Thirty-seven sailings a day, first at 05:06 and last at 22:36.
This leg is part of Zone 3 — the north line — so a single costs €4, €3.50 reduced, or €6 return. A ten-trip card at €24 works out cheaper for anyone doing it regularly, and a monthly pass is €70.
Kallosluis takes its name from the lock at Kallo, one of the entrances to the Waasland docks. There is not much at either stop beyond the jetty and the industry — this is a commuter link, and the boats fill at shift-change times. De Waterbus carries bicycles free.
