In the city of Salzburg, citizens can use public transport free of charge this year on all four Advent Days. This was announced in a current communication from the city. The possibility of driving free of charge by bus and trains begins at the start of operation and ends at the end of the company. The city provides around 100,000 euros for this initiative due to assessments of traffic volume and to promote more environmentally friendly mobility.

The incentive to leave your own vehicles comes especially in the run -up to Christmas at an affordable time when many people visit the city to buy gifts or to take part in Christmas markets. Traffic officer Anna Schiester from the citizens' list - the Greens of the City of Salzburg, emphasizes that less traffic contributes to more relaxed paths, clean air and a higher quality of life: "This is an incentive to leave the car and to be on the road. This is exactly what we want for Salzburg."

future actions planned

Mayor Bernhard Auinger from the SPÖ announced that similar actions should take place more often in the future. In such offers, the city administration sees an effective way to raise awareness of environmentally friendly transportation and at the same time relieve the urban space.

This initiative is part of the city's efforts to promote sustainable mobility and make the low -emission modes of transport more attractive. Further details on the projects and their effects were not specified in the message. Information on these measures is available on the Salzburg24 website, where the background of further traffic campaigns are also explained.
