STIB-MIVB, ☎ +32 (0)70 232 000 (0,30€/min), . The Brussels region (Bilingual) public bus, tram and metro service. �
The metro in Brussels is quite clean and safe compared to most metro systems. Metro entrances are marked by big "M" signs in blue and white, with the station name underneath. All announcements are made in Dutch, French and English.
Brussels revamped its metro at the start of April 2009 to boast six lines, and at the same time rescheduled several tram and bus routes. Single tickets cost €1.80 if pre-purchased and are available from the driver for €2.
You validate the ticket in the small orange machines located in buses/trams, or at the entrance to metro stations/major tram stops. The orange machines time-stamp the ticket, both in ink and magnetically, and it will be valid for one hour. You can interrupt your ride and interchangeably use any STIB/MIVB transport. You should revalidate your ticket for each new ride.
One, five and ten ride tickets are available at almost all metro and train stations. A card that can be used for ten rides on public transport costs €12.30. There is also a 1 day pass available for €4.50 and 3 day pass for €9.50. These tickets can be purchased either at staffed windows or from kiosks. However, the kiosks do not accept many credit and debit cards and will only accept cash payments in coins.
