[6] The project has been jointly funded in different parts by Lund municipality, Region Skåne, Skånetrafiken and the Swedish state,[1] costing 1.5 billion SEK (approximately 148 million euro).
[9] The tram issue also led to the formation of a new local political party, with veteran Folkpartiet (Liberals) politician Sverker Oredsson among others forming Förnyalund (Renew Lund/For The New Lund) ahead of the 2014 elections.
[10] Construction on the nearly 6-kilometre (3.7 mi) tram route to achieve faster and higher-capacity public transport between Lund Central Station and many of the largest workplaces in the city was formally approved in 2015.
[15] Disagreements with the manufacturer CAF over the issue with flat spots, along with other complaints, meant that Skånetrafiken did not take formal possession of all trams until July 2022.
[17] There are plans to extend the system with a new line to neighboring Staffanstorp as well as Dalby or to new developments to the North and East of the current endpoint at the European Spallation Source.
