Reorganization of cross-border lines, Esch-sur-Alzette
The Luxembourg Ministry of Transport and the city of Esch-sur-Alzette wish to study the feasibility and advantages of reorganizing cross-border public transport lines before possibly entering into talks with French players. The question of a reorganization of the lines is linked to the important developments of new districts on both sides of the border, to the question of maintaining a short and inoperative rail shuttle between Esch and Audun-le-Tiche and to the future of several cross-border bus lines that cover up to 50 km between the French municipalities and the city of Luxembourg.
