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.
Exceptions are Brupass (XL) tickets bought via the (beta version of) our De Lijn app. After purchase, you must use them within 18 months. After activation, you’re free to jump on and off any vehicle within 60 minutes within a certain validity area served by the four public transport companies. After those 60 minutes, you can still complete your ride, with a maximum of two hours.
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.
With this, you’re free to jump on and off any vehicle on the entire network of the four public transport operators within the Brussels periphery within 60 minutes. When the 60 minutes are up you can still complete your ride, with a maximum of two hours.
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.
