Due to a technical malfunction, the website and app of the Flemish Transport Company De Lijn was badly affected on Friday 11 March. The real-time info at the stops were also not available and call bus rides were also stopped disturbed† De Lijn gave little or no information via Twitter and other social media, except that the ICT team was working on a solution. Alternatively, reference was made to the Google route planner. An alternative ticket could be received via an SMS ticket (text 'DL' to 4884). The website and app were available again around 13.00 p.m. You could also consult the real-time travel information again.
