Badner Bahn: Safe in pleasure at night - 100,000 passengers are enthusiastic!

The Viennese local railways introduced the continuous night traffic of Badner Bahn on December 10, 2023 to ensure a safe connection from the Vienna city center to the south of the city and the surrounding areas. After a year, the responsible city councilor Peter Hanke (SPÖ) reports that 100,000 passengers have already been promoted at night. This is a strong sign that the offer is very popular and that the use of young night owls in particular increases steadily, as the managing director of the Viennese local railways, Thomas Gruber, emphasizes. In order to guarantee maximum security, there are only trains with video surveillance in the night traffic of the Badner Bahn, and there is also security personnel on the move.

adjustments in the timetable

Approval options were created for passengers: The timetable was designed in such a way that passengers can seamlessly switch to the Nacht-I-Bahn lines of the Wiener Linien am Karlsplatz as well as to the Meidling train station and the night-S-Bahn connections to Meidling and Matzleinsdorfer Platz. These traffic -related adjustments were created to enable comfortable travel even later, which is a significant improvement for the city. According to a message that the Viennese local railways, the continuous night traffic will also be maintained on the nights of the upcoming Advent weekend, over the holidays and until the turn of the year.

The offer could be an important step towards contemporary and safe mobility in Vienna, which has been increasingly required in the recent past. These developments are also firmly anchored in the timetable of the Badner Bahn, which offers a comprehensive and attractive solution for night owls in the city, as can be seen from the current traffic concept.
