Download mobility apps
To plan multimodal trips or commutes within the country, is a must. The free app shows anticipated delays in real time, as well as any footpaths you’ll come across. The national railway company’s CFL mobile app has similar features, while CFL International is useful for planning international trips and purchasing tickets.
Train cancelled? Don’t panic!
Some train services are cancelled months in advance (for infrastructure maintenance, for example). In this case, users will be notified ahead of time on the CFL’s website and substitute buses will be organised. For spontaneous cancellations, visit the mobility apps mentioned above for alternatives.
For cyclists and scooter users
All trains, buses and trams take a limited number of bicycles or kick scooters on board for free if the space allocated for those isn’t taken up by travellers. For example, a mostly empty bus can easily accommodate one bicycle on board unless that space is used by a wheelchair, a trolley or scooters. Most trains have a bike compartment, but this is more practical for sightseeing than commuting.
