The intercommunal transport company for Brussels, Société des transports intercommunaux de Bruxelles – Maatschappij voor het Intercommunaal Vervoer te Brussel (STIB-MIVB), has announced its plans to hire between 750 and 800 additional members of staff in 2016. Around 100 of these new staff members will be tram drivers, some 200 will be bus drivers and a few dozen will be employed to drive metro trains.
