With a view to launching a number of new Walking Bus (Pedibus) lines in Kirchberg and Limpertsberg after the Carnival school break, the City is once again calling for applications to chaperone children on their trips to and from elementary school.
6 new lines
A total of 6 new lines will have been selected by the City's Service Circulation (Traffic Department) based on the school's location, the children's places of residence, the urban structure of the neighbourhood, the road network and the location of main thoroughfares. Among these, 2 lines will serve the school in Rue Anne Beffort (cycles 1-4) in Kirchberg, and 4 lines will serve the school in Rue Ermesinde (cycle 1) in Limpertsberg. Please note that the launch of these new lines depends on the number of accompanying adults available and the number of children registered.

An environmentally-friendly mode of transport
The Walking Bus is an eco-friendly way for children to get to school: it runs according to a set timetable and route in various districts of the capital, picking up children at signposted stops. The children are accompanied by adults, who guide them on foot to their school and back to the nearest stop to their home at the end of the school day. With this project, the City aims to:
- protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions;
- strengthen social cohesion and interaction;
- increase safety around schools by reducing the number of motorised vehicles;
- educate children from an early age about road safety;
- promote children's health through the benefits of movement and walking.
Due to the resounding success of the project since its launch in 2021, the City will continue to explore the possibility of further extending the scheme in other parts of the capital.
