Belgian railway "Happy Ticket"

During the upcoming weekend, Dec. 14-15, and every day during the Christmas school break (Dec. 21 through Jan. 5), you can travel from one Belgian train station to another Belgian train station for 10 Euros round trip, provided it is on the same day.
The ticket is called "Happy Ticket." Moreover, if an adult is purchasing a "Happy Ticket", up to four children aged less than 12 years old may accompany the adult, free of charge.With your "Happy Ticket", you also get a reduction at the Belgian Railway parking (B-Parking). There is a B-Parking in Mons, Silly, and Soignies. You still have to get a parking ticket as you enter the parking and upon leaving, insert your parking ticket and scan the bar code on your "Happy Ticket.". It will automatically give you the discount. If you cannot scan your train ticket, have your ticket validated at the train station cashier and return to make payment, using the same process.
