The STIB-MIVB Portal and its digital companion app serve as the central hub for navigating life in Brussels, transforming the daily commute into a seamless digital experience. The Journey of a Brussels Commuter

Imagine it's a rainy Monday morning in Brussels. Instead of rushing to a physical ticket machine, you open the STIB-MIVB mobile app from your kitchen. With just a few clicks, you purchase a Brupass 10-journey ticket, which appears instantly on your screen as a digital QR code ready for the metro gates. stib mivb portail

Smart Planning: The app’s real-time journey planner tells you exactly when the next Tram New Generation (TNG) will arrive at your stop, coordinating not just with STIB's own buses and metros, but also with SNCB trains and De Lijn buses.

Corporate Convenience: Meanwhile, at a local company like the Municipality of Etterbeek , HR managers use the Business Portal to manage hundreds of employee season tickets in one place, instantly loading them onto workers' MOBIB cards without a single paper form.

Behind the Scenes: Behind every ride is a network of 1,400 drivers who use their own Driver Self-Service Portal to swap duties and check schedules, ensuring the city keeps moving.

Late Night Freedom: If your workday turns into a night out, the portal helps you find the nearest Noctis night bus or book a Collecto shared taxi to get you home safely after the metro closes.

The Business Portal is a dedicated platform for companies and organizations to manage their employees' mobility. It streamlines the administration of season tickets and reduces paperwork through several key features:

Centralized Ticket Management: Employers can order, renew, and request refunds for staff season tickets in a single interface.

Third-Party Payment System: Instead of employees advancing costs and seeking reimbursement, the company receives a single monthly collective invoice.

Direct MOBIB Loading: When a request is submitted for an employee who already has a MOBIB card, the season ticket is loaded directly onto the existing card. Short write-up: "STIB / MIVB — Portail" Background

5.2 Integration with MaaS Platforms

Brussels aims for a single “MaaS” app combining all mobility (train, tram, bus, shared cars, scooters, taxis). The STIB‑MIVB portal currently does not allow booking of shared cars (e.g., Cambio, Poppy) or taxi services. Users must switch between apps.

2. Manage Subscriptions (Abonnements)

For daily commuters, the subscription section is critical. You can subscribe to:

  • STIB Season Ticket: Unlimited travel on all STIB networks (metro, tram, bus) for 1 month or 1 year.
  • Brupass: Valid on STIB, De Lijn, TEC, and SNCB trains within the Brussels-Capital Region.
  • MTB (Metro, Tram, Bus) School: Reduced rates for students.

The portal allows you to choose a start date, pay via credit card or Bancontact, and set up auto-renewal.

Problem 3: I cannot load tickets to my MOBIB card via the portal.

  • Solution: Ensure you have a compatible NFC reader if using a computer. Most desktop browsers do not support NFC. Use the STIB mobile app or any physical ticket machine at stations (look for the red “Loading Point” stickers).
