Lack of parking space at Tulln station: commuters are waiting for solutions

The commuters in Tullnerfeld are currently facing a difficult situation. After the latest extensive rains and the resulting flood, the traffic connections are on the brink. The Tulln train station, which should serve as the main overbearing route for daily rising passenger numbers, is overloaded and simply cannot do justice to the needs of the commuters.

The Park-& Ride system at the train station is severely restricted and does not offer almost enough parking spaces for all drivers who want to switch to the public transport network. Many commuters have to search for alternatives, which ensures a lot of frustration and delays. It is an unpleasant challenge, especially since the situation in St. Pölten is just as precarious and the bus lines are unable to cope with the demand.

overload at Tulln train station

The Tulln train station has so far been regarded by the commuters as a reliable option to get to the nearest cities. However, the recent circumstances, especially after the heavy rainfalls, have faltered this reliability. The daily number of commuters has reached the capacity limits of the station, so that many travelers do not find their way to turn their car off and get on the trains in good time.

In the past few weeks, more and more commuters have complained that they are coming to work too late due to the shortage of parking space or cannot park at the train station at all. This dilemma means that the trains are overcrowded, which further deteriorates the entire travel time and the experience for travelers.

approaches and developments

The situation urgently requires solutions to offer the commuters in the region a real alternative and a constant connection to public transport. However, there are currently no clear concepts from those responsible to improve the parking lot situation or to expand the bus connections.

The authorities are required to take measures and take the problems of the commuters seriously, since they are of crucial importance not only for their personal mobility, but also for the economic accessibility of the surrounding cities.

In view of the pressing problems shown by the tense traffic system, it is becoming increasingly important to develop future -oriented strategies in order to meet the requirements of a growing commuter community. Further information on this topic can be found in a current report by www.krone.at .
