Bus line 1 Donawitz: Finally direct switch for Leoben public users!

Optimal news for the commuters in the Leoben district: From January 2025, bus line 1 Donawitz will be extended to the roundabout at the former Fröschlwirt. This means that passengers can now use a direct switch from the regional busses from the direction of Trofaiach, Vordernberg and Eisenerz with improved changeover times. Before this improvement, a walk between the "Donawitz End" stops and "lower Tollinggraben" stops was required, which caused many passengers. Mayor Kurt Wallner emphasizes that this step was taken by the Leoben Stadtwerke to meet the needs of passengers and sees the new line as a significant relief for the residents and visitors of the retail center.

innovations for the environment

In addition to improving the bus line, the Stadtwerke Leoben team also relies on sustainable measures. The existing buskeeping houses at important nodes such as Hinterberg-Fabriksgasse, Lower Tollinggraben and Marschek-Bichl are equipped with new "green roofs", which should contribute to improving the micro climate in lively areas. City Councilor Heinz Ahrer emphasizes the positive environmental impact of these buskeeping houses, which not only contribute to dust reduction, but also offer a natural cooling effect. Ronald Schindler, the director of the Stadtwerke, explains that over a million passengers are promoted annually and that the adaptation of the lines to the wishes of passengers can be centrally located for customer-oriented operation, as can be seen at Stadtwerke Leoben

To simplify public transport in the region, these measures were taken to ensure user -friendly and environmentally conscious promotion. The new system is another step towards optimal accessibility within the Styria Transport Association, as the My district . The decision to close a gap in transport connections is perceived as a welcome upgrade by both residents and travelers.
