De Lijn is improving your travel information all the time. The new ‘vehicle on map’ function now shows the real-time location of your bus or tram in the app, on the map on the journey page.

How does it work?

  • Go to the stop page you want: tap ‘search’ in the menu at the bottom and enter your stop.

  • On the stop page (Leuven Wijnpers on the example below), tap the arrival time of a line (we use 395 Hoeilaart - Leuven here).

  • The real-time location is automatically updated every 15 seconds.

  • On the map you will always see the next stop with the status ‘arriving’, and the same under the corresponding stop name below (with a blue dot).

  • You will only see the vehicle’s location if it has real-time reception.
