There are currently two types of active ticket in circulation. The differences between them are shown below.

An activated ticket purchased from De Lijn from 3 November 2021 shows the following information:

• the time limit until which the ticket is valid
• on the detail page:
  • a QR code that the inspector can use to check whether you have a valid ticket
  • the surname and first name for the account from which you purchased your ticket. These must be exactly as shown on your identity card
  • the time of activation
  • the use by date
  • the price

From 3 November 2021, tickets will be linked to your account. Lijn inspectors will therefore check these points. If there's a technical problem, they may also ask for your surname and first name in order to look up your ticket in our system.

An activated ticket purchased from De Lijn before 3 November 2021 shows the following information:

• the day code which the Lijn inspectors use to check the ticket. This is a combination of letters and numbers
• the time limit until which the ticket is valid
• the price

These tickets are linked to your mobile phone number. The Lijn inspectors will therefore check these points. If there's a technical problem, they may also ask for your mobile phone number in order to look up your ticket in our system.
