If you work or go to school in Kirchberg, and wish to get there by bus from Junglinster/Niederanven, take a book, warm clothes, an umbrella and plenty of time ahead, or read and sign this petition, please, and maybe that won’t be necessary anymore.

Bus 120 route has completely changed as of 13 December 2020 due to the extension of the tram line, based on a decision by the Ministry of Transport, made without public consultation. The bus used to connect Junglinster and the villages of Niederanven commune to the entire Kirchberg area, all the way down to centre ville. The new route excludes some of the bus stops in Niederanven commune and goes straight to the Gare Centrale, via the Findel Airport. 

We propose the reinstatement of the route of bus 120 for an easy, efficient and environment-friendly trip to work and school for people living in Junglinster and Niederanven.

Reason

This change of route is extremely inconvenient for many people, in particular, families with children at the European School, but also for those people who were relying on this bus to get to work to Kirchberg, or shop at Auchan. 

The only way to get to any location in Kirchberg is to take the bus all the way to the station and then the tram back. That means sitting on the bus in traffic for 45 minutes up to an hour and then on the tram for another 30 minutes (instead of about 20 minutes altogether before). 

This is even more difficult for the elderly and the children, particularly in winter time, or on rainy days. 

This also affects people travelling into Niederanven for work, which means our commune may become less attractive for business. It is extremely unpractical to wait for twice as long and change buses, particularly when pressed by time.

This change is not environment-friendly either, as more people will be using their cars now to get to and from Kirchberg, or take their children to and from school.

The only other alternative - bus 125/1 - only runs from certain bus stops in Niederanven commune to LuxExpo Quai 4, which is inefficient and inconvenient, particularly for the children and elderly, plus it does not help people coming from Junglinster.

We propose the reinstatement of the route of bus 120 for an easy, efficient and environment-friendly trip to work and school for people living in Junglinster and Niederanven.

Please sign this petition if you, or your families or friends, are impacted negatively by this change. Any other solutions are welcome.

Many thanks.

Citizen of Niederanven commune

Considering the change, and for lack of a decent alternative, several people are now using their individual car , ie as such contributing to increased CO2 levels. Reinstating bus 120 would thus have a positive effect on our carbon footprint.

No CONTRA argument yet.
