De Lijn Flex in the province of Limburg
Until August 31, the province of Limburg functions as one large flex area: the Limburg region. Starting September 1, 2025, we will divide this large area into five smaller ones. This way, we can organize flexible transport more efficiently and increase availability.
The flex bus operates in all Limburg flex areas on the following days and hours:
| Day | Time |
|---|---|
| from Monday to Friday | from 6.00 to 22.30 |
| Saturday | from 8.00 to 22.30 |
| Sundays and public holidays | from 8.00 to 21.00 |
