Cancellation of Bus Lines 27 and 33 and Extension of Line 61 in Brussels Bus Network

The public transport company in Brussels (STIB‑MIVB) announced a comprehensive adjustment to the capital’s bus network starting March 2, in a move aimed at improving connectivity between areas and meeting passenger needs.

The changes announced by the company include the suspension of bus lines 27 and 33, which are among the least used in the current network, with confirmation that service will continue at all affected stops through other alternative lines.

The adjustment involves the suspension of line 27, which connected the Luxembourg and Pléiades areas, as part of the network reorganization.

Line 33, which linked the Louise and Dansaert areas, is being canceled due to low ridership.

Line 61 will be extended to cover a wider route reaching Pléiades, providing a direct alternative for passengers traveling along the same corridor.

The company stated that these changes are based on a comprehensive analysis of bus usage data in Brussels, aiming to simplify the network and improve transport services while ensuring higher bus frequency on the busiest routes.

Full details of the new bus routes and timetables will be available via the company’s app and official website before the changes take effect, allowing passengers to plan their journeys in advance.
