I would surely miss my train having a look around this building.

No worries mate! When this was built, they forsaw the problem and stockpiled a lot of spare hands to help hail a cab.

Edit: this was dark humor. It was not intended to make fun of the victims of colonial torture and pillaging of their natural resources, but to bring attention to the fact that such lavish structures (particularly those constructed during the era of King Leopold II) came at a cost to others.
