Public transport throughout Brussels and Wallonia will become more expensive from 1 February. SNCB, TEC, and STIB will increase ticket and subscription prices based on the consumer price index.
In Brussels, most of STIB’s fare structure will see an average increase of almost 5%. Some prices had already risen by about 5% last September, following a decade-long freeze on fare increases.
A single journey ticket, which cost €2.10 at the start of 2024 and €2.20 since September, will rise to €2.30 in February. The one-day ticket will increase from €8.00 to €8.40.
Brupass products (for travel on all public transport networks within the Brussels region) will experience a smaller increase, between 1.5% and 3.8%. The single journey ticket will rise from €2.60 to €2.70, and the one-day ticket will cost €9.50, up from €9.10 previously.
Subscriptions will also be affected by the price increase. A month of transport in Brussels will cost €55 instead of €52, while the annual fare will rise from €520 to €550.
On the railways, regulated second-class ticket fares (Standard, Major Beneficiary, Senior, and Youth) will rise by 2.91%. Subscription fares (Standard, Flex, Part-time, and Student) will increase by 3.03%.

The SNCB's intermodal subscriptions like the City pass and Unlimited Subscription will follow the same increase as other subscriptions, at 3.03%.
The 'Youth Holidays' product for young people during school holidays will now cost €39 instead of €35. Its weekly version will be available for €19, one more than before.
TEC fares will be indexed by 3.74%. However, the prices remain unchanged for group tickets and annual subscriptions priced at €12 for 18 to 24 year-olds, seniors over 65, and major intervention discount holders (BIM).
For example, the price for a Next journey will go from €2.10 to €2.20, and an Express journey will now cost €5.10 instead of €5.00 Monthly Next subscriptions for 25 to 64 year-olds will increase from €37.10 to €38.20.
