InnovationHow public transport and organized travel were born in Luxembourg
The origins of the family business date back to 1948. Public transport did not exist at that time in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Marc and Jos Sales, the current managing directors of SLG, like to tell the story of how their grandfather Jos Lentz got Luxembourg's mobility off the ground. As a grain farmer, he was the only one with a truck. "A big car', as people in the region used to say. A great football fan, he once had the idea of using his truck to drive his team's supporters to the matches. This was the beginning of the very first public transport in Luxembourg. The overwhelming success of this idea prompted him to take it a step further. The purchase of the first "Bedford" coach allowed him to dare to travel longer and... much more comfortably. In the post-war period, he brought the sea to people who had never had the opportunity to travel. Since the road network did not allow for a return trip on the same day, the group of tourists left on Saturday and spent the night there to enjoy a day by the sea before returning to Luxembourg the next day. Jos Lentz had just invented the first organised trips from Luxembourg and his adventure was just beginning!

A year later, the acquisition of a second bus made it possible to open the first regular link between Bascharage and Luxembourg City.
