The point of view of the new director of TransFensch
Just elected to the presidency of the board of directors of TransFensch, Patrick Becker, first vice-president of Smitu, arrives at the responsibilities with at his side a new director, Pascal Lucide, known to the company.
It appears that he and the new director do not have the same vision as Thionville and the so-called isolated municipalities in terms of public transport offer in North Moselle. Yet it is up to him to come to a consensus so as not to further undermine the fragile health of TransFensch. Note that the applications of candidates for the public service delegation to come in March 2021 were opened on Thursday.

The point of view of the presidents of agglomeration
“The question that arises today is what are the objectives to be achieved? », Answers Michel Liebgott, president of Val de Fensch.

On the side of Portes de France-Thionville, Pierre Cuny affirms “the need for communities to prepare efficient, modern and environmental transport, via the arrival of buses with a high level of service”. Still according to him, “the problem is the delegatee, not the Smitu”.

The union perspective
For the moment, no notorious movements to identify. Apart from the fact that they do not yet know the intentions of the new presidency at TransFensch. And that they deplore a total drift of the company. “We destroyed the transport flagship of the Fensch Valley. The realities of yesterday are no longer those of today.
However, some observers slip, only the collective interest counts, and not the machinations carried out in secret by the politicians. The future of public transport in the Thionville basin is at stake.
