The commuter train service in the Basque Country will be called Lottu

Specifically, the survey promoted by the Department of Sustainable Mobility has been in operation for two weeks on the Irekia website, and more than 55% of the participating population have opted for the Lottu option, ahead of Lurbil (30.4%) and Besaide (14.4%).

 The citizens have chosen the Lottu brand to designate the local train service of the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV), as reported by the Department of Sustainable Mobility of the Basque Government.



Specifically, the survey promoted by the Department of Sustainable Mobility has been in operation for two weeks on the Irekia website, and more than 55% of the participating population have opted for the Lottu option, ahead of Lurbil (30.4%) and Besaide (14.4%).

The three options are intended to "suggest proximity to the territory" in line with the "growing interest of the Department of Sustainable Mobility in providing the service." In this sense, Lottu is an imaginary word that evokes the connection.

The commuter train service was transferred to the Basque Government on 1 January, although Renfe is still in service. There are five lines in total, four in Bizkaia and one in Gipuzkoa, in addition to the new service in the Llanada Alavesa.

During this first year, the Department of Sustainable Mobility is working to implement improvements in the service, such as the changes made in January on the Bilbao-Orduña C-3 line, the expansion of services in Álava, the connection between Karrantza and Aranguren, which will begin in the coming months, or accessibility advances.

These improvements have been accompanied by the creation of a new and differentiated brand, and the Department of Sustainable Mobility has appreciated the participation of citizens in the vote for their participation in the decision on the future name of the commuter rail service.
