Disrupted telephone services

The telephone call centre of the City is currently experiencing technical failures. It is therefore sometimes difficult to contact the various services by phone. You can still request your documents online and on the citizen portal External site MyBXL, or make an appointment.

 

View your route

By car, by bike or on foot: the Anyways app allows you to view your future route after the introduction of the new circulation plan.

Indicate your point of departure and arrival on the map or enter your address in the search bar at the top. You will be given the distance and duration of the route on foot, by bike or by car. For cyclists, there is a 'direct route' which indicates the shortest distance, and a 'comfort route' which avoids cobbled roads as much as possible:

The above-ground public transport lines are currently unchanged, but improvements may eventually take place for the benefit of mobility and public transport, as part of the Good Move mobility plan.
