More informationFree network travel pass for residents between 6 and 12 years
Leuven residents between the ages of 6 and 12 years receive a free Buzzy Pazz from the city authorities. For children who turn 6 during the year, a travel pass may be requested 3 months before their 6th birthday at the earliest. Is your child entitled to a free travel pass? If so, you will receive a letter from the City of Leuven with information about how to apply for the travel pass. Anyone entitled to a free pass must register online, after which the MOBIB card will be sent out or the travel pass activated. An application may also be made in the Lijnwinkel store in Leuven.
If you don’t yet have a MOBIB card, you will receive a personalised MOBIB card displaying your photo and with your travel pass on it, free of charge.
De Lijn takes this photo from the National Register. If a photo is not available there, you can submit one online.
If for some reason we cannot recognize you as an entitled person, you will receive an email from us within 7 working days after your registration via the website to tell you what to do in that case.
If you continue to have problems, just call in at a Lijnwinkel store in Leuven. They’ll be happy to help.
