Luxtram and the CFL, Luxembourg's railways, have announced various changes to the tram, bus and train networks in light of the coronavirus crisis.

At a press conference on Thursday, Luxembourg's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Mobility and Public Works, François Bausch, confirmed that demand for public transport had fallen amid the current public health crisis. Indeed, the public has been advised against using public transport and to restrict movement in order to limit the spread of coronavirus.

In this context, the following changes have been made to public transport in Luxembourg.

Luxtram announced that the tram will no longer run on Sundays.

From Monday to Friday, the tram will run every 15 minutes between 04:45 (first departure: Luxexpo) and 23:45 (last departure: Stäreplaz / Etoile).

On Saturdays, the tram will run every 15 minutes between 06:04 (first departure: Luxexpo) and 23:52 p.m. (last departure: Stäreplaz / Etoile).
