Public transport in Tyrol: New connections from December!

Wörgl, Österreich - On December 15, 2024, there are significant changes in public transport in Tyrol. With the extension of the S8 railway line, which previously ran between Wörgl and Hochfilzen, this is now being extended to Zell am See in neighboring Salzburg. This makes a total of 21 stops between Wörgl and Zell am See accessible and offers residents and commuters an attractive, cross -border connection. As reports tirol.orf.at , 38 new connections are planned every day, which will be of great use, especially for the residents of the Brixental.

The Mobility Council of Tirol, René Zumtobel, emphasizes that this expansion not only improves passenger traffic between the federal states, but is also of crucial importance for pupils and students who live in border regions and visit schools in the neighboring federal state. This continuous connection enables it to travel over the national borders in the future. Salzburg's LHStV. Stefan Schnöll emphasizes that the new connections are also an important step for the upcoming 2025 Ski World Cup in Saalbach.

The current developments in local transport are part of a comprehensive government program to improve mobility in the region. In addition to the S8, direct bus connections, such as the Landeck route to South Tyrol, as well as the planned expansion of the VVT ​​transport association to Oberaudorf in Bavaria are also realized. These measures set important impulses for a better transit over the burner, with the aim of bringing new multi -system vehicles for switch -free local transport by 2027.
