Provisional late night train service begins 11 December, so Delano spoke with American exchange students at Miami University’s campus in Differdange about using public transport in Luxembourg. As the students live with local families, it is an issue for all of them. They have experienced problems that many locals raise, ranging from delays to harassment on late trains. “Sometimes the buses are really late or just don’t show up,” said Daniel Isakoff, who lives in Kirchberg. Joanna Brown said: “My biggest problem with trains is that I don’t feel safe when I am alone late at night in the train. It’s scary.” Mallory Dunn said: “The last weekend we’ll be here we’re actually looking for a hostel to stay in, just because we want to stay out longer and not worry about having to get the last train.”
