Overview
Changes to the AVL bus network came into effect on Sunday, 12 April 2026 to optimise the mobility service on offer, strengthen connections between neighbourhoods and improve service quality.
Following an extensive analysis of actual journey times, updated schedules were introduced across the entire AVL network. Passengers are invited to consult the updated timetables on bus.vdl.lu, in the cityapp – VDL and at bus stops.
As there were schedule changes for certain bus stops, users were asked to check the new timetables, which are displayed at these bus stops, online at bus.vdl.lu and in the cityapp - VDL.
Paper schedules for all bus lines are also available from the Infobus point (Place d'Armes, Cercle Cité building, corner of Rue Genistre).
Overview of the changes
- AVL line 19 extended towards Strassen
- AVL line 31 discontinued
- Route of AVL line 20 changed
- Routes of AVL lines 5, 24 and 29 streamlined
AVL line 19
The line 19 route was extended from Limpertsberg to "Strassen, Oricher-Hoehl" (currently the final stop of line 31) via Reckenthal. As part of these changes, the "Neumans Park" and "Lefèvre" stops were replaced by a new "Lefèvre" stop on Rue de la Faïencerie, near the intersection with Rue Tony Neuman.
As part of this initiative, a section of the line 31 route was incorporated into line 19, streamlining and optimising the existing service. As a result of this change, line 31, which had hitherto been operating between "Badanstalt" and "Strassen, Oricher-Hoehl", was discontinued.
With this incorporation:
- buses to Reckenthal now run every 30 minutes, rather than every 60 minutes,
- new direct connections were created between Reckenthal and Limpertsberg, and between Reckenthal and Luxembourg Central Station,
- line 19 has a more coherent and appealing route, with enhanced overall service.
AVL line 20
The changes to the line 20 route aimed to make this line more attractive and to better meet customers' needs. The changes have facilitated new direct connections between Bonnevoie and Merl and an easier connection between Luxembourg Central Station and Avenue du Dix-Septembre / Boulevard Pierre Dupong.
The line was extended via Rue de Hollerich, Boulevard Pierre Dupong, Avenue du Dix-Septembre, Rue de la Barrière and Rue de Merl, with its final stop at "Marcel Cahen".
Buses now run every 20 minutes throughout the day. Buses continue to call at Parc Luxite only during rush hour. At all other times, buses terminate at P+R Stade de Luxembourg.
AVL lines 5, 24 and 29
The opening of the new bridge connecting Boulevard des Scillas to the Howald transport hub has helped improve and streamline the routes:
- Line 5 now travels over the bridge in both directions. This has shortened its journey.
- Line 24 now also uses this new direct route, saving users time.
- Line 29 continues to run via CR231, calling at "Howald, Op der Stirzel (Quai 1 and 2)", and then takes the bridge travelling towards "Hesperange, Cité Um Schlass".
Lines 5, 24 and 29 no longer call at the "Howald, Ronnebësch" stop.
