 The original tram route 6, also known as the "port route", ran between the Stuivenberg hospital and the present day Bolivarplaats (at the time, still the site of Antwerp-Zuid station), using the Lange Beeldekensstraat, Diepestraat, Brouwersvliet to the quays at the river Scheldt, and then following the quays all the way to its southern terminus.In 1938, the tram route was replaced by a trolleybus route, having a depot in the Somméstraat.On 30 March 1964, this trolleybus route itself was replaced by a regular bus route.
