Public transportation

Buspas Kortrijk

A few years ago, the city of Kortrijk, the student facilities and De Lijn struck a brilliant deal. Every student receives a bus pass that allows him or her to take any bus in the territory of Kortrijk. This subject to the payment of an administrative fee of € 10.00 at the reception desk of the campus in Kortrijk. More information can be found here. Apply online!

If you do not yet have a MOBIB card, you must purchase one via De Lijn.

MOBI abonnement Brugge

Each student of Howest Brugge has the option to buy a MOBI pass at the price of €35/month/per vehicle with which you can park on the large parking lot (Brugge Interparking) at the front side of the train station of Brugge Interparking. Address: Buiten Begijnevest, 8000 Bruges.

This parking lot is the ideal transfer for public transport: all buses of De Lijn pass through here. With the MOBI pass you can use public bus transport for free between the station and the inner city.

To use this service, go to the reception desk of campus St. Jorisstraat 71 or campus Rijselstraat 5 to receive, upon presentation of your student card, the required documentation.

Once you have this document, you can complete the application form and take it to: NV INTERPARKING Disctrict Vlaanderen, Hoefijzerlaan 12 - 8000 Brugge - www.interparking.be or to the office found at the exit of the Interparking parking lot.

If you wish to cancel your pass for any reason, you’ll need to do so a month in advance at the Interparking desk.

By car

If you are studying in the city, you don’t need your own car, right? By foot, by bike, by train, by bus or by tram, you will get wherever you need (or want) to be. Most of the time that is, but every now and then a car can be useful.

Luckily, there is a special car sharing tariff just for you! Cambio CAMPUS gives you the freedom to use a car whenever you need one, without having to buy a car yourself.
