Three Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-One

Luxembourg-Gare handles around 80,000 daily journeys. Public transport is experiencing record usage, and with it, record incidents: 3,461 in 2025, about 200 more than 2024, a 5.8% increase. In the first half of 2026, 1,884 incidents were recorded from January to June, compared to 1,746 in the same period of 2025, a 7.9% rise.[1]

But the trend is not as simple as the headline. Authorities emphasise that the rise is partly due to greater reporting by staff and passengers, not merely more incidents. Reported assaults on staff have actually declined slightly, dropping 1.16% in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. A stronger reporting culture, officials argue, helps identify risks earlier and enables more effective prevention.[1]

Secure Cabins

As of July 15, 2026, 824 RGTR buses, 48.1% of the fleet, are equipped with secure driver cabins. 78 vehicles were integrated in the past six months, about 150 in the last year. Six out of ten monthly RGTR bus journeys now operate with enhanced driver protection.[1]

Within the CFL bus fleet, 68 out of 83 vehicles, 82%, already have secure cabins. The remaining older buses are scheduled for replacement by 2028 to achieve full coverage.[1]

Tram Security

After a positive pilot project launched in August 2025, which placed security agents on board trams and along the network, a second security team was deployed from July 1, 2026. These agents provide prevention, visibility, and assistance. Drivers remain responsible for daily operations and passenger information.[1]

Bodycams

The Ministry of Mobility and Public Works is reviewing the use of body-worn cameras for public transport personnel, drawing on experiences from other European countries. Early evidence suggests bodycams may help prevent conflict, de-escalate tense situations, and protect staff. The ministry is monitoring the gradual deployment of bodycams within the Grand Ducal Police. Lessons learned will inform any future decision, with consideration for operational and data protection requirements. No decision has been made yet.[1]

Respect

The national campaign "Respect is as simple as saying hello!" was highlighted during the National Day of Respect on May 3, 2026, focusing on maintaining a pleasant acoustic environment for everyone. Information stands and awareness activities brought together stakeholders to encourage courteous behaviour and greater passenger comfort.[1]

Two days ago, CFL released its own violence statistics as part of a broader pattern of incidents across public transport. Today's figures cover the entire network: buses, trams, and trains. The picture is consistent. More reporting, slightly fewer assaults on staff, infrastructure upgrades accelerating, and bodycams on the horizon but not yet on the uniform.[1]
