Lien Ettermonde

**Lien Ettermonde** (French to English translation: *Ettermonde Link*) is a government-owned bus operating company that serves the city of Ettermonde in Terrebleuvif.

## History

Ettermonde switched from right-hand traffic mandatated during Terrebleuvif's French colonial rule, to left-hand traffic mandatated by the Northern Lunden Development Community as part of Terrebleuvif's original signatory to the Road Traffic Manual, in 1962. Throughout the 1970s and the 1980s, Ettermonde possessed unnumbered bus routes and a large number of privately-owned bus fleets, which are unsafe, not air-conditioned, do not have destination indicators, often lack accessibility to those with wheelchairs and they have different colours, which caused brand confusion.

Lien Ettermonde was founded in 1994, with the aim of the government-owned business to have a better bus service in Terrebleuvif, and eradicate unnumbered bus routes from Ettermonde by late 1990s. The new bus network was launched on 1 October 1997, dropping the number of bus routes in Ettermonde from 475 to just 80, sorted into three types: MonXpress (French for "my express"), MaBoucle (French for "my loop") and MaLien (French for "my link").

With the opening of the new Ettermonde International Airport in 2000, Lien Ettermonde started a new bus route to serve the airport.

The Ettermonde Public Transport Museum (*Musée des transports en commun d'Ettermonde*) was opened in 2011, to showcase the history of Ettermonde's public transport from 1876 to present.

## Fleet

Lien Ettermonde's bus fleet for MonXpress services consists of 70 Alexander Dennis Enviro500 hybrid-electric double-decker buses which are 2.5 metres wide, 4.1 metres tall and 12.8 metres long, all built in 2018. They replaced the previous Dennis Trident 3 buses. The bus fleet for MaBoucle is a Scania K360UA with Volgren Optimus bodies, delivered between 2015 and 2017 and replaced the Volvo B10LA. The bus fleet for MaLien is a Mitsubishi Aero Midi MK27; the Aero Midi buses replaced the previous Volvo B6RLE.
