Fines and infringements

• How much is a fine?

  The fine for not holding a valid and/or validated ticket is €107; the amount from the second fine within 24 months is €214.

  Using someone else's personal MOBIB card will lead to a €408 fine.

  If you have a valid season ticket, but didn't validate it, the fine will be €10, provided that it is paid within 10 working days. After this period, the amount will be increased to €107.

  You can contact our "Infractions/Inbreuken" department using the following email address: infractions@stib.brussels.

  The response time can vary according to the number of requests we receive. It generally takes a maximum of 3 weeks to receive an answer.

  Please note that your fine will be suspended while your request is being handled. If your appeal is unsuccessful, you will receive a new deadline for the payment.

  The fine must be paid into bank account BE78 0963 2093 1086, using as structured communication the barcode written on the document you received during the inspection or by post.

• Can I pay in several instalments? What is the maximum?

  Yes, you can apply for a payment plan. The maximum number of monthly instalments depends the amount of your fine:
