Application for a travel card for people with reduced mobility (Adapto)
Last update
Adapto is an occasional passenger transport service. It is aimed at persons whose reduced mobility, disability or permanent impairment is such that they are unable to travel independently, either with their own vehicle or on public transport.
It supplements the public transport system by providing transport via specially equipped minibuses.
Who is concerned?
Anyone who resides in Luxembourg, is at least 12 years of age, and who:
- has a permanent disability; or
- has a physical, mental, sensory or psychological impairment; or
- suffers from severely reduced mobility; or
- suffers from a progressive illness.
The service is intended for occasional journeys.
Persons suffering from a temporary disability may not use the Adapto services.
Prerequisites
The person must be permanently unable to travel by other means of transport, whether public or private.
Costs
Since 1 March 2020, Adapto transport services are free of charge.
