Never without a ticket with the STIB-MIVB app

Change the way you get around Brussels with the digital ticket.
Use your smartphone to buy, validate and travel in one click. Getting inspected? No problem, the STIB-MIVB app's got it covered!

To purchase tickets in the STIB-MIVB app, you need an account.

Having an account allows you to retrieve your tickets if you uninstall the STIB-MIVB app or change your phone. It is also possible to block the use of your tickets in case your smartphone is stolen.

Furthermore, in order to travel on the SNCB-NMBS and De Lijn networks with a digital ticket, you need to provide your identity. In this regard, we use the information from your account so that you can travel with these operators.

With a digital ticket, you can travel simply using your smartphone under the same conditions as with your MOBIB card. This has several advantages:
- No need to buy a MOBIB card or recharge it on a vending machine.

- Purchase your tickets wherever and whenever you want as they are available immediately.
- Enjoy the same advantageous fare for a 10-journeys ticket as if you were purchasing it for your MOBIB.
- One transport ticket to move about in and around Brussels.

In a nutshell, enjoy all the advantages of the MOBIB Basic without its disadvantages!

Yes, it is possible to recharge your MOBIB card through the mobile app. Please note that when you recharge your MOBIB card through the app, your tickets will only be available on your card starting from the next day [link]. You can immediately recharge your MOBIB card through our website stib-mivb.brussels using an ID card reader.

No, these are two different ways of travelling. Tickets purchased on one cannot be used on the other.

No, the digital ticket is an additional way to travel in Brussels on the network of the 4 public transport operators. It does not replace the MOBIB card, which remains available.

At this stage, this is not possible. We are studying the feasibility of adding other types of transport tickets to the STIB-MIVB mobile app, including season tickets.

You need to be connected to the Internet to purchase, activate a ticket, and make a connection. However, once your ticket is activated, your QR code remains available. Even without an internet connection, you can travel and get inspected if you have an active ticket.

If you lose your phone, the STIB-MIVB Customer Care can block your wallet to prevent your tickets from being used by others.

To retrieve your tickets on your replacement phone, log in to your account in the STIB-MIVB app and your tickets will be automatically transferred to your new phone.

This should not happen because multiple validation steps are required to activate a digital ticket. However, you can still contact our Customer Care to explain your situation.

Our Customer Care is available for contact by phone, through our contact form, on social media, and by email.

No, to travel from the airport, you must use the Go2City ticket, available only on MOBIB or through contactless card payment.

With a Brupass ticket, you can travel on the networks of all 4 public transport operators (STIB-MIVB, De Lijn, SNCB-NMBS, and TEC) within the Brussels region. If you want to travel further to the Walloon Brabant and the Flemish Brabant, you'll need a Brupass XL. Discover the Brupass XL zone through our map.

The validity of a digital ticket is the same as that of a ticket on a MOBIB card.
Your digital tickets are valid for 1 hour. Beyond the hour, you still have 60 minutes to complete your journey in the vehicle you are on and exit the station. After that, you will need to activate a new ticket.

No, the validity of a ticket is fixed, so there's no need to deactivate a ticket at the end of your journey.

When you activate your ticket (or make a connection), select the De Lijn network.
A window will invite you to confirm your first and last name. It's essential for these names to match the ones on your identity documents for your ticket to be valid. Once you confirm this information, your ticket is activated, and you can start your journey.

If there's a ticket inspection, simply present the detail screen of the on the De Lijn network active ticket to the inspector. He will scan the QR code that appears on your screen. It's thus crucial that your ticket is properly activated on the De Lijn network. Without that, the QR code will not be valid, and you will be considered in fraud.

When you activate your ticket (or make a connection), select the TEC network. The app will request access to your phone's camera, and it will open it. Using your phone, scan the QR code on the TEC vehicle's validator that you wish to board. Your ticket will be immediately activated.

At this stage, it is not possible to travel with a group using only one phone. Each traveller must have their own phone with the STIB-MIVB app. They must be logged in to their own account and have their own ticket. Please note that multiple people cannot use a single account to travel. We plan to add the possibility to travel with a group on one phone in a future update of the feature.

If there's a ticket inspection, simply present the details of your active ticket, including a dynamic QR code. The inspector will scan this QR code to verify the validity of your ticket.

Some important points to note:
- Make sure your phone has enough battery. If your battery runs out, the inspector will have no choice but to report an infringement. If in doubt, consider using a different type of ticket.
- Do not present a screenshot of your QR code. The QR code is dynamic, and a screenshot will be considered invalid.
- Always activate your ticket before boarding the vehicle. Validating your ticket during an inspection is considered as a fraud and will be detected when the QR code is scanned.

Very simple! After activating the ticket you want to use, click on "Ticket details". You only need to present the QR code displayed on your phone's screen to a QR code reader installed on our gates to open them. Gates with a QR code reader are marked with a yellow sticker. Usually, it's the rightmost gate or those for people with reduced mobility.

The QR code reader is a small glass panel fully integrated into our gates. You can identify it by a yellow sticker indicating its location. It is generally found on the rightmost gate and on gates for people with reduced mobility. Depending on the models, it may be located just above or just below the red validator.

The same way you entered it! In your app, click on the "Wallet" tab and access the details of your active ticket. Just present the QR code displayed on this screen to open the gates.

You just need to activate your digital ticket! Click on the "Wallet" tab in the STIB-MIVB app, choose the ticket you purchased and want to use, and click on "Activate". Once you have selected the network you are traveling on, your ticket will be validated, and you can start your journey.

To travel with the digital ticket, make sure your phone has enough battery. If your battery runs out, the inspector will have no choice but to report an infringement. If in doubt, consider using a different type of ticket, either through our GO vending machines or through contactless payment.

You have several options:
- Find another gate with a working QR code reader. All gates for people with reduced mobility are equipped with one, and each line of gates has a QR code reader.
If you want to enter the station, use another type of ticket (e.g. a MOBIB card ticket or contactless payment). If you had already activated your digital ticket, feel free to take photos of the faulty QR code reader and keep the purchase receipts to request a replacement for your used up ticket from our Customer Care.
- If you can't exit a station, use the yellow dispatching call button. An agent will help you exit the station.

In any case, you can contact an agent in the station to report the issue.

No, you cannot. The STIB-MIVB QR code is dynamic, meaning it changes frequently for security reasons. You must use the QR code presented in the app to open the gates and enable the validation of your travel ticket.

No, this is currently not possible. You must have a MOBIB card ticket or a paper ticket to benefit from the free P+R parking
