About this app

This mobile app allows you to get around Brussels with great ease. You can very easily check the next arrival times at your departure stop or find the quickest way to reach your favourite spots.

If you create a user account (or use your MyBOOTIK-account) you can fully personalise your mobile app and get access to extra features, such as managing several MOBIB cards, purchasing and renewing travel tickets and adding personal addresses.

Do you wish to plot your journey from door to door? Our journey planner will guide you all along the way and offer you several travel options (bus, tram, metro, train or on foot). Just enter your itinerary search and follow the instructions. Once you’re on board, the app will notify you when you’re about to reach your destination and need to get off.

By adding a stop or a line to your favourites you can very quickly check real time departure times or display timetables. Information on service status and possible disruptions can also be displayed at any moment.

Ratings and reviews

1. Not trustworthy: the timetables are chronically incorrect and do not reflect actual train times. 2. Poor trajectories: it often suggests very convoluted routes but fails to suggest the most obvious and direct ones. 3. The functionality of the app is poor: when searching for a route, it gives only two options; if you want to consider other options you must go through a lengthy process of selecting the date and then a time in order to see two more.

Somehow useful. However, during the last strike, the app was still suggesting lines that were not actually operated (this info was available in the app itself).

The app lacks the usability of the old app, therefore I switched to the old one. To be precise, even though I can still define favorite lines, the time it takes to open, load and switch to them is longer. Also, switching between the different sections (itinerary, lines, favorites,..) is not possible with swiping left/right. Also there is some loading time every time you switch to it which is longer than before and while waiting you don't see the old values. Lastly, I think that the 3D map is not that important to be at the front and top.
