Travel Cheap in Brussels Belgium | Getting Around by Bus Tram Metro Ride | STIB MIVB Save Money Tips

[@timothypowell4046]

Excellent video! I used it to help my 8th graders better understand how people get around in Belgium (we're doing geography).

[@rganesan]

This video is more than a year ago and there's an even cheaper option to travel in Brussels. Just directly tap your contactless card and you'll pay on 2.1 euros for one hour's travel with a cap of 7.5 euros for the day. Just use the same contactless card for all the journeys

[@bonjourmansee]

Yes that’s right. They want to discontinue paper tickets for environmental reasons and costs. So all companies are promoting digital tickets now.🥳

[@ambesyosa]

hello, when taking public transport shall we tap out as well using a contactless card when exiting the bus, tram or train? thanks!

Another great video as always. This information will be helpful for newcomers. And one thing, these people love their small town very much even after living so far away from their country. Their love for their traditions and festivals is exemplary. Always ready to help the people here.

Hello, very nice video. Do you need to validate the card when you exit the bus/tram?

[@bonjourmansee]

Hi, validation is needed at each entry / check-in. Not needed at exit. Except: in metro station you need to tap your card in order to open gates. Thanks for watching.

Very informative. But would like to know, about the BRUPASS 1 DAY. It mentions it is valid for a day "from the start to the end of the service, including Noctis buses", I have to get a train and bus at night around 11pm, will it be valid for the next day as well if I buy a 1 Day BRUPASS?

[@Driver2958]

Very helpful video - thanks. I'm travelling to Brussels soon and will be there for 3 days, I don't have a MOBIB card, am I still able to buy this BRUPASS ticket when I arrive at a metro station? Is there any option you would suggest for a 3 day trip?

[@bonjourmansee]

Hey John, you can immediately get a MOBIB card for 5 euros at the STIB Metro station counter in Brussels. Then you can load a 10 trip on it. If you travel with a partner/friend/family , they can also travel in this single card. If you will stay in Brussels for 3 days and think that you will travel a lot and cover lots of places, it’s worth the purchase. Go for it. If you think you will walk around and only sometimes travel(say a particular day)then I propose you ditch Mobib card and buy a paper smart ticket having “BRUPASS 1 Day” this offers unlimited travel only for 1 calender day per person. It costs about 7.50 euro when buying from a vending machine like I showed in video or 8 euros if you buy from counter.

[@remo2021]

Great to see your video and its useful. Im not sure is there any weekly ticket or family ticket for visitors? Any such options aviable?

[@bonjourmansee]

Indeed there is no family pass or weekend ticket at STIB for visitors. However SNCB (National trains ) have weekend special prices for everyone!

[@mehrotraormudit]

Thanks for the informative video... The brupass is valid for 1 hr what does 10 trip ticket mean 10 journeys at 10 different hours or how does the system recognize 10 trips

[@bonjourmansee]

thanks for watching the video ! now your doubt: it means, you can travel at 10 different times. if you take 10 different metro/bus/tram rides but all within 1 hour >> they all will be counted as 1 trip and you will pay for 1 trip only.

[@UlhasMK]

Hi thanks for ur video👍 pls suggest most affordable ticket plan if I need to use train, metro, tram, bus between Mechelen, Brussels, Bruges for 3 days as a tourist.

[@bonjourmansee]

Between cities in Belgium - you will have to take the SNCB train. Download their mobile application and buy paperless tickets - you can select standard multi... Within brussels you need seperate bus/tram/metro ticket as you saw in this video. I think you will just be in bxl for 1 day so Brupass 1 day will be sufficient. Many people also explore Bxl just walking... so totally depends on you and your iternary.

[@futureballersacademy4552]

hello, i will be staying in brussels for 5 days and i was wondering which tickets will u recommend? I will be planning to take the transport as much as possible throughout my stay. Can u also explain regarding the 60 mins ticket thing which u bought? So is it unlimited travels for the next 60 mins?

[@bonjourmansee]

If you will travel throughout the day(i.e more than 3 journeys per day) in Brussels public transport then go for a paper ticket: Brupass 1 Day(8 euro per day), with this you can travel unlimited the whole day, so you will buy 1 each day or on the days you will travel. if you have 4 journeys to 10 journeys in those 5 days then go for Brupass 10 trips (15.60 euro)on a mobib card(5 euro). So it depends on how much you will travel. About 60 minutes: yes, Brupass trips are valid for unlimited changes in Brussels zone with 60 mins. If you want to know more, check link in description :) Enjoy your stay in Brussels !

[@nishantshah128]

very helpful video! Just a doubt, when you buy 60 min ticket, you travelled using the same ticket . is the validity 60 mins from first check-in or the total time travelled should be 60 min? For example- I can use the ticket only for 1 hour from first check-in at 3:30pm or Train ride 30 min & bus ride 20 min (total 50 min ride time) throughout the day?

[@bonjourmansee]

Thanks Nishant! The validity is counted from first check-in time in 60 mins. There are numerous products of STIB /MIVB to suit your needs! Do check them out. Again, thanks for watching the video, please stay tuned 🥳

[@MARYCHARMENEDIAZ]

Hello. Im planning to go to Brussels-bruges-brussels in one day. What ticket should I get?

[@swarnanadia6704]

hello ,this is really nice video...i wonder if these tickets can be used for travelling for 1 city to another?for example: brussels to ghent,ghent to bruges? if not then what is the most cost effective transport medium for those??

[@bonjourmansee]

such a nice question Swarna! No, these tickets cannot be used 'inter-city' because they are valid only within the boundary of Brussels city. If you want to travel in between cities: choose SNCB train tickets(they have many offers like weekend ticket, Duo tickets that offer 1+1 free, etc.). If you are traveling within cities like: Ghent, Antwerp,Liege, Charleroi then you can opt for City Passes which offer you unlimited flexibility to travel with these cities. SNCB also sells these tickets (or you can buy from operators like DeLijn & TEC)

[@swarnanadia6704]

@@bonjourmansee thanks..from where we can get this SNCF deals?on spot purchase possible?i will be reaching paris on 29th..can i get this tickets there in the station?

[@bonjourmansee]

@@swarnanadia6704 offcourse you can buy tickets at the stations, or using their website online, they will also have a mobile app. For offers you can try your luck by exploring coupons of SNCF via google...all the websites would be in French so translate and see if you fall in any category to benefit any coupon. But the thumbrule is: the earlier you book, the cheaper your ticket is. (also trains at non-rush hours are cheaper). enjoy your euro trip!

[@shobharajanna692]

Hello, I planned to travel Brussels-> Ghent->Bruges -> Antwerp For 2 days. Which ticket is best to buy? And with Multi youth ticket can I travel in bus and trams too??with mobib card can I travel in both bus train and tram?

[@bonjourmansee]

Intercity transport you will have to do via SNCB NMBS trains. If its just one time shuttling between cities - best option is to buy standard multi tickets if you are above 26 years of age (or youth multi if less than 26) - if you are not able to finish all trips you can sell it on fb groups to anyone who needs. These multi passes are only for trains. With mobib card you can travel on any public transport of belgium- bus, tram, train, metro provided you have purchased suitable tickets on top of mobib card.

Jump ticket? Is it called like that on the vending machine? It's always a mess trying to figure out what kind of ticket to buy.

[@bonjourmansee]

Hi Mikko, ‘jump’ is the old product name, now you can look for “ BRUPASS 10 trips “ or other brupass variants. If you are in Brussels this product is best for you. If you are here only 1 day, there is a product like BRUPASS 1 Day .

hello, for 10 journey yes you need to buy the mobib card now(total price of 10 tickets + mobib card: 20.60 Euro). If you don't want to buy a mobib card, paperless options are available only for these 2 tickets at STIB stations: 1 Journey(for 2.6. euro) and 1 Day (8 Euro).

Hello do you know ,how can I go to the center of brussels from airport zaventen?

[@bonjourmansee]

hi, the best way will be to take the STIB/MIVB airport bus from airport(Line 12) upto the last stop: Schuman. From Schuman you have 2 metro lines: 1 & 5 that take you to the Central in 3-4 mins(or its just a 10-15 mins pleasant walk from there, if you don't have much luggage you can appreciate the EU institutions and that diplomatic vibe while you walk!). have a great time! But if you love trains & want the easiest & the most comfortable way to travel to Brussels centrale (and SNCB trains are really a comfortable ride), you can take a train directly from airport upto Brussels Centrale. You can buy the train tickets via SNCB NMBS application or ticket machines at airport.

[@DroidTSK]

If you're at Sainte-Catherine, De Brouckére or Gare Centrale you'll want to take the 1 or 5 metro line (direction Stockel/Hermann-Debroux) and get out at Schuman. Then you can take the 12 bus and get to the airport. If you're at Rogier or Yser you can take the 2 or 6 metro line (direction Simonis/Roi Baudoin) and get out at Trône. Then you'll want to take the 12 bus and get to the airport. At Rogier you can also take the 25 tram and get out at Meiser, another stop served by the 12 bus.

1. Yes you can pay by any popular payment method: maestro, master , visa , Apple Pay , gpay…all payments are accepted 2. No, apart from you no one can tag along with you if you have a season ticket.
