Who are we?
Founded by STIB and a number of enthusiasts in 1982, our association is made up entirely of volunteers. They manage the museum, they maintain and run its historical vehicles, and they make sure those vehicles are properly restored.
Throughout the years our archive department has also collected a large number of objects and documents related to public transport in Brussels. Although these activities are all supported by STIB/MIVB, they are financed by our own means. We receive no recurrent subsidies from any public body.
If any of the aspects of our museum or its activities interest you, and if you would like to contribute in any way: feel free to join us. Helping hands are more than welcome!
Our activities
On top of our usual trips, we regularly organize thematic outings on the STIB network: from reliving former tram and bus lines and trips on new rolling stock to visits to sheds or maintenance workshops.
We also organize trips focused on public transport, even multi-day trips abroad to meet up with and get to know similar organizations and their members.
