Luxembourg City, the country's capital, houses 110,000 residents. On work days, however, about 400,000 more people come into the city in order to go to work. Similar characteristics exist for the country as whole. Nearly 200,000 people who live in Belgium, France, and Germany cross the border into Luxembourg to work.

The capital city public transport network is extensive, but a recent study still found that drivers spent an average of 33 hours a year stuck in traffic jams.

The move away from collecting tickets for public transport will save the government money in that it won't have to employ people to sell or collect those tickets. A recent study found that operating the public transport system cost the government €1 billion but brought in only €30 million.
