About the Kruibeke – Steenplein crossing
Back into the city from Kruibeke to Steenplein takes about twenty minutes against the current, thirty-three times a day between 06:40 and 22:40.
Zone 1: €4 single, €6 return. Steenplein puts you at Het Steen with the old town behind it, and the city crossing to the left bank costs a separate €1 if you want to carry on.
The evening sailings are the useful ones for anyone who has spent the day walking in the Kruibeke polders — the last leaves at 22:40, which is late enough for dinner in the village first. Bicycles travel free on every De Waterbus boat.
