Major roads

Lund has been connected to the motorway network since 1953 when the E22, the first motorway in Sweden, was built round the edge of the town. There are also other connections to most major roads in the area, for example the E6 via Riksv�g 16, and the L�nsv�g 108 which connects to the E65.

Cycling

Lund has been praised for its cycling infrastructure. There are 5000 bike parking spaces in the town, including a multi-storey facility, 160 km of cyclepaths, and 45% of commuters travel by bicycle. There has been no increase in car usage for the past 10 years.

Railways and public transport

Lund has been on the main railway line between Malm� and Stockholm since 1857. Today there are direct connections to Copenhagen and Elsinore via the �resund Bridge. This connection is mainly served by the �resundst�g, maintained by DSB, the Danske Statsbanerin Denmark and Sk�netrafiken in Scania, as well as by SJ in the rest of Sweden. Local traffic is managed by the two-coach electric multiple units P�gat�g, which provide connections to many destinations in Scania. Because of Lund's central position, it is possible to travel to the three largest cities in Sweden without having to change trains.

Public transport within Lund is overseen by Sk�netrafiken but the actual bus network is licensed to the Bergkvarabuss company. The city buses connect around 400 bus stops with 11 bus lines served by a fleet of 40 Mercedes Citaro running on compressed natural gas and a few smaller buses using diesel. There are plans of initiating a tramnet work to achieve faster and higher-capacity public transport in some parts of the city and to the suburban towns of Dalby, Staffanstorp and S�dra Sandby.

In recent years the pressure on rail and bus lines has increased, due to the ever growing commuting between Lund, Malm� and other nearby places and increased casual and professional contacts with the Copenhagen area. As of 2009,
