Getting around Brussels
By train & bus
Brussels has 3 metro lines, many buses and several tram lines, all run by STIB-MIVB. A card that can be used for ten rides with public transport costs €11. One hour tickets cost €1.50 if pre-purchased and are available from the driver for €2. One, five and ten ride tickets are available at almost all metro and train stations. You validate the ticket in the small orange machines located in buses/trams, or at the entrace to metro stations/major tram stops. The orange machines time-stamp the ticket, both in ink and magnetically, and it will be valid for one hour. You can interrupt your ride and interchangeably use any STIB/MIVB transport. You should revalidate your ticket for each new ride. There are also one-day tickets available, for € 4,00. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays you can take another person with you.

By bike
Since 2006, the city offers low-cost short-term "CycloCity" rentals at various fixed locations near the central city. You need a credit card to rent a bike. The minimum is €0.50 for the first half hour, any additional hour costs €1, registration costs €1.50 and lasts a week. Be aware that the city is not bike friendly at all, and only recently has it started to provide some street marking for bikes. It is advisable to wear a helmet and a fluo vest. The bikes are robust, but rather heavy, sometimes an inconvenience on Brussels' many hills. More detailed information can be found here (French and Dutch).
