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.
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
Oh man this was so interesting, I wish they have these sorted public transport systems in India too. Very informative and fun to watch. I'll need to grab a chocolate now 😅 Loved the cinematic shot at the end too 🙃
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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 🥳
hello. I Will be in Belgium tomorrow for a student exchange program in Leuven. I will be there for 1 whole week. which ticket is best for me?? will be coming from Germany
oops, my bad... I respond to you so late. I hope you had a great time in Leuven. Within Leuven I would have suggested to go around walking or just use Delijn buses or even scooters.... cute little town!
Hey Can you please tell me the cheapest way to go to Tomorrowland from Brussels back and forth? It'd be super helpful as I'm hell confused about the transportation and nothing is decided yet. WAITING FOR REPLY.
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?
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 !
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??
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)
@@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?
@@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!
Good video, we are going to Brussels in March 23 and would like to buy a 3 day pass, is that possible? perhaps if it is you could record what it says on the ticket machine? Thanks for the info though
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, 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?
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.
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.
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.
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). Sorry for replying a little late, I hope you enjoy your Brussels trip!
Vous pouvez directement aller à la station de métro et acheter les billets. En fait il y a qq automates aux arrêts de bus et tram aussi, vous pouvez acheter les billets la, également.
Can I pay directly inside the bus or tram using my international credit card as I am not setup with my local account yet ? Later If I am taking a MOBIB card and load a 1 month season ticket, can my wife also tag along in the same card or does she need a separate one ? I understand the question is long, but if you can answer I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
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. Season ticket is for your unlimited travel. Those were valid and good questions, no problem if they were long :)
