Commuters have complained about the inconveniences created by the interruptions of metro, buses and trams. It's still unclear when the system will return to normal. All metro lines began operating on Wednesday after being stopped for four days. But bus and tram employees have not returned to work. Traffic inspector Iliaz Tahiraj, 56, was punched in the face at the site of a traffic accident and died later in a hospital. His funeral is scheduled for Thursday. Brussels, the headquarters of the European Union, NATO and many other international organizations, has been almost paralyzed due to strikes and demonstrations by public transport workers. STIB, the largest Belgian urban public transport company, serves the 19 communes of the Brussels Capital Region as well as 11 other outlying communes. The strike brought to a halt STIB's four metro lines, 18 tram lines, 50 bus lines and 11 night bus lines. Because of the disruptions, it took Loic Bourguignon one hour to walk to work on Tuesday. "I share the sympathy of workers toward the victim of the accident," said Bourguignon, who works downtown but lives on the outskirts of Brussels. "Nevertheless, the extension of the strike is too much. People are upset over the constant strikes in Brussels, said the owner of a bookshop in the Montgomery metro station, who asked not to be named. "I was shocked by the shutdown of the public traffic system and the metro stations after returning from the Easter holiday break," he said. "Unions are too powerful here in Belgium and in France. But they don't care for other people and sometimes abuse their rights," the bookstore owner said.
