MijnLijn is een applicatie waarbij gebruikers eenvoudig de eerstkomende bussen/trams van hun favoriete haltes kunnen opvragen. Via de app kan je snel alle naburige haltes opzoeken en de tijdroosters in een oogwenk opvragen. Er is een doorzoekbare lijst met alle haltes in Vlaanderen en Brussel. Je kan de haltes toevoegen aan een lijst met jouw favoriete haltes zodat je steeds snel in een handomdraai weet over hoeveel minuten jouw bus of tram aankomt op de halte. Er is ook een map weergave waarop alle haltes in de buurt zichtbaar zijn. Merk overigens op dat deze applicatie enkel werkt voor bussen en trams van De Lijn. Internet verbinding is vereist daar de RealTime informatie afkomstig is van DeLijn.
