Patrick VanhouckeA hundred years of Brussels city buses: a century of movement.
This month of May, Brussels is celebrating a significant milestone: a hundred years of organised city bus services. The STIB-MIVB and the Tram Museum are pulling out all the stops with a festive programme that brings together the past, present and future.
In 1926, โLes Autobus Bruxelloisโ was founded to complement the tram network in a growing city. Following its integration into the STIB-MIVB (1954), the network expanded significantly, thanks to more powerful diesel engines from the 1960s onwards. Articulated buses appeared in the 1980s, low-floor buses in the 1990s, hybrid models from 2010 onwards, and since 2018 Brussels has been fully committed to electrification.
To mark the 100th anniversary, the Tram Museum is organising a free open-air exhibition in the Parc du Cinquantenaire on 16 and 17 May 2026.
