Not everyone got the memoNew RGTR bus route numbers as of this week
The new numbering system for RGTR buses came into effect on Monday, which may have thrown some passengers off.
The reorganisation of the RGTR bus network was started in 2016. The new numbering system is the final phase and allows passengers to know which part of the country buses serve or what kind of route it is.
The renumbering came into effect on Monday and works as follows:
- 1XX : North
- 2XX : East (Echternach)
- 3XX : East (Wasserbillig)
- 4XX : East (Remich)
- 5XX : South (Thionville)
- 6XX : South (Esch-sur-Alzette)
- 7XX : South (Pétange)
- 8XX : West (Steinfort)
- 9XX : West (Redange)
The 2nd number indicates the different types of services:
- X0X: The express lines serve the main axes and are intended to connect the major centres with Luxembourg City or the Nordstad. These lines usually have only one stop per locality.
- X1X: The primary regional lines are the main lines of an axis, unlike express lines, they serve all stops and provide connections in the region.
- X2X: The secondary regional lines have the same purpose, but often do not pass through the final destination of the axis.
- X5X: The transversal lines are strong lines that connect the major centres of the different regions without passing through Luxembourg City.
- X3X – X4X – X6X – X7X – X8X – X9X: The local lines connect rural areas to one or more major centres.
