This spectacular progress is almost unique in Europe.

Move better!

A new and improved transport experience!
Comfort, performance, speed and punctuality are all important, but aesthetics and quality of life in the city are also determining factors that increase the attractiveness of public transport. Over the past few years, STIB has experienced a real structural revolution. Whereas before the company was exclusively concerned with practicality, today it is resolutely customer-oriented with new transport links, new vehicles, a new brand image and new products.

This new phase of STIB's development combines performance and quality, efficiency and sustainable development. Because above and beyond its role as a public transport provider, STIB has become a major actor in the urban landscape and its presence helps to improve the city and maintain the quality of life of its inhabitants.
