A monorail under study in support of the "super-bus"

 

 

Ongoing reflections aimed at making Luxembourg "a model of mobility within the next five years" are continuing. Among the projects analyzed, the installation of a new transport system connecting Micheville to the capital, in addition to the high-capacity bus already announced.
Priority axis of the diversification strategy, the development of autonomous driving and electromobility continues. Dedicated to make Luxembourg "a model of mobility within five years", current analyzes "concern all technologies that can meet our objectives," says François Bausch (Déi Gréng), Minister of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure. Among them, the possibility of installing a monorail between the region of Esch-sur-Alzette and Luxembourg-city.
Already mentioned on the other side of the border to connect Thionville to the capital, the idea would be applied this time "from Micheville to go either towards Leudelange or Hollerich," says the tenant of the Heischhaus , which states that if "everything is possible at this stage in terms of technology, the solution will support the super-bus which is the minimum solution to meet our future mobility needs in the south of the country".
Designed to support the development of the area between Dudelange and Rodange via the establishment of a multimodal network circulating on its own site, the "high-level service bus" project should not be launched before horizon 2025. This is also the estimated period for the emergence of the first housing units to be built on the 62 hectares of the former industrial wastelands of Esch-Schifflange. Wasteland where, eventually, several thousand new inhabitants should settle even if no figure on the total capacity has been evoked to date.

 

 

Achieved as part of the development of a "mobility 2.0 strategy", ongoing studies should lead to the implementation of a master plan that will "take into account not only infrastructure costs, but also costs external as those related to the environment ". In this context, a study on travel habits was conducted among 100,000 people, including 42,000 border workers. The results of this study should be presented at the end of December, according to the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure.
