Via the De Lijn app or website
Tickets purchased via the De Lijn website or app remain valid for one year from the date of purchase. They should therefore be activated within the year.
After activation you can travel for 60 minutes with an ticket or a journey on your 10-journey ticket, and for 24 hours with an day ticket. Does your ride take longer? Then buy a new ticket.
You can always check the remaining time yourself in the app or website.
Via the app of one of our partners
An ticket that you buy using the app of one of our partners is automatically activated immediately after purchase. After activation, you can travel for 60 minutes with an ticket.
An 10-journey ticket is valid for one year. You must activate your ticket yourself for each journey via the app of the partner from which you bought your 10-journey ticket. After activation, you can travel for 60 minutes with your 10-journey ticket.
Attention
Exceptions are Brupass (XL) tickets. These allow you to change rides within 60 minutes on the entire network of the four public transport companies (De Lijn, NMBS, TEC, MIVB) within the outskirts of Brussels. After those 60 minutes, you may complete your journey, with a maximum of two hours of travel.
