Restructuring of the national RGTR bus network, Luxembourg

On the occasion of the renewal of the contracts of the various bus operators of the national RGTR network, the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure wished to revise the entire network to make it more efficient and more accessible. Citec has been mandated to develop a comprehensive and structured redesign of the national bus network. This restructuring is based on a diagnosis of supply and demand, an exhaustive study of the major possible service concepts and the development of the sector-specific basic network. Among the methodological elements employed: the operation of the OD survey, the simplified network design in order to visualize and analyze the VP and Public Transport flows and the adequacy between supply and demand.
