Rely on real-time
You don’t know which lines are running? Floya knows it all: no need to have the apps of the 4 public transport operators.
Of course, the information displayed depends on what data is available from each operator.
SNCB-NMBS trains
If the strike action was expected, you should be able to check out the adapted timetables 48 hours in advance. The route search also takes into account the lines that will be running during the strike.
As usual, you can also check out the real-time for the upcoming vehicles or use the combined options.
STIB-MIVB buses, trams and metros
STIB-MIVB defines which lines will be running the day itself, at around 6:00 am. This means that the route search cannot take the suppressed lines and vehicles into account.
Use the clickable in-app message to check the updated traffic situation on the network.
As to the waiting time, rely only on real-time: the blue dot on the line diagram or the dynamic real-time icon show you when you can expect it.
No blue dot or signal icon next to the announced waiting time? It means the line isn’t running!
De Lijn buses
The timetables and route search are up to date 24 hours before the announced strike: you can easily plan your journey the day before.
Already on your way? You can of course check the dynamic real-time icon to see the upcoming vehicles.
TEC buses
In the event of an announced strike, the cancelled services will be greyed out in the route search.
You can also check out the real-time info indicated by the dynamic signal icon at any time to see which lines and vehicles are operated.
You don’t see any signal icon next to the announced waiting time? It means the vehicle isn’t running!
