Den exploateringsdrivna trafikökningen i Brunnshög kräver omedelbara åtgärder. På Lundalänken anläggs i dagsläget en spårväg vilket kommer generera en stor kapacitetshöjning. Sedan satsningen på spårvägen fastställdes har beslutet ifrågasatts, och än idag trots att byggandet har påbörjats. Den fortsatta uppståndelsen speglar graden av missnöje vilket lett till intresset att utreda vad alternativenThe main objective of this study is to illustrate the consequences of not converting Lundalänken into a tramline, which means replacing the former bus line. The interest behind the study derives from the public opposition that this ongoing project has faced. The opponents are claiming that there are more suitable alternatives than a tramline to solve the capacity issue that Lund is expecting in th
