Around 30 million euros for streetcar expansion in Leipzig

The expansion of the streetcar network in Leipzig is being funded by the federal and state governments with around 30 million euros. Saxony's Transport Minister Martin Dulig (SPD) handed over the corresponding funding decisions to Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB). The money is to be invested in track and stop construction on lines 4, 7, 11 and 15. The majority of the funding comes from the federal government; the Free State of Saxony is providing a co-financing share.
