Public transport in Liège is operated by TEC and relies on a dense network of bus lines, now complemented by a tram line that launched in April 2025. More than 75 different bus lines serve the city, with most routes connecting at Liège-Guillemins train station or in the city centre near Place Saint-Lambert.
The Liège Tram New 2025
🚋 Liège now has a tram! The line officially opened on 28 April 2025, a major milestone for the city. Following the launch, the entire TEC bus network was restructured: 66 lines (75% of the network) are now directly connected to the tram.
Your TEC pass or ticket is valid on both bus and tram — there is no price difference between the two modes.
⚠️ Tram only: There is no ticket sale on board the tram. Ticket machines (SELFs) are located on every tram platform before you board, and unlike elsewhere on the network, these accept cash.
New Network Naming System
Lines now follow a new classification system:
- T Tramway
- B Busway — high-frequency bus service comparable to a tram. The B2 Busway (formerly Line 2) launched in September 2025 with new 18-metre buses.
- L Connect lines — feeder lines connecting to the tram
Park & Ride (P+R)
Two Park & Ride facilities connect directly to the tram:
- Sclessin (N63) — 665 spaces (reserved for Standard de Liège season ticket holders on match days)
- Bressoux (E25) — 771 spaces
Ticket Prices Updated Feb 2026
A major fare simplification took effect on 1 February 2026. The old zone-based system — in place since TEC was founded — has been abolished. The former Next and Horizon tickets are now merged into a single Classique ticket valid across the entire network (excluding Express lines).
| Ticket Type | Price | Validity | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classique Entire network excl. Express | €2.80 | 90 min | Replaces old Next (€2.20) and Horizon (€3.10) tickets |
| Express Intercity lines | €5.50 | 150 min | Increased from €5.10 |
| Classique multi-journey Per trip | €2.25 | 90 min | Loaded on MOBIB card or TEC app |
Note: Tickets purchased on board the bus or on disposable paper cards at stops are slightly more expensive.
Annual Subscriptions
| Profile | Annual Price |

| Adult, Express lines | €710 |
| Youth (18–24) — entire network incl. tram | €12 / year |
| Seniors (65+) — entire network incl. tram | €12 / year |
The €12/year annual pass for under-25s and over-65s has been maintained and remains one of the best-value public transport deals in Belgium.
