Ticketing
MoBIB is the STIB/MIVB smart card, introduced in 2007. It uses contactless technology based on the Calypso-system. It is comparable with the London Oyster card. All Metro stations, buses and trams are now fitted with MoBIB readers. At the moment it is possible to buy monthly passes, yearly passes, 1 and 10-trip tickets and daily as well as 3-day passes are available. Also, you cannot buy these on the internet except the yearly pass. In addition the GO vending machines accept only coins and local (Proton and Bancontact) debit cards which makes the use of the MoBIB card less convenient.
