What are the benefits?
Having all your travel options in a single app will not only save you time but il will also give you more flexibility. The map in our mobile app will show you all public transport stops in Belgium, as well as the Villo! docking stations, Cambio carsharing stations and Collecto shared taxi stops. Combining several transport options has never been this easy!
How does it work?
Suppose you want to cover the last leg of your journey by bike. The map will show you where you can find a Villo!, how many bikes are available, whether they are traditional or electric bikes and how you can get to the Villo! docking station. Or suppose you need a Cambio car. The map will give you the address, a list of all available cars and their category. Or suppose it’s rather late and you feel no longer capable of driving yourself. The map will show you the nearest stop of Collecto shared taxi service.
Are you travelling outside of Brussels and looking for connections with other public transport companies? All you need to do is to open the map, select a stop of your choice and you’ll get real-time information of De Lijn and SNCB-NMBS and next departures of TEC. And there is also this little extra for SNCB-NMBS: their departures can be filtered according to the time of day or destination station.
Last but not least: you can now choose to hide or display the stops you want, as well as the STIB-MIVB entrances and exits.
The map and filters allow you to easily find your connections, display all your travel options and choose the best time to embark on your journey!
Our mobile app is a work in progress. We value your feedback and do our best to meet your needs. So please feel free to rate our app on the stores and add a comment to your rating.
