U-railway wave in Vienna: U2 again continuously to Karlsplatz!
On December 6, 2024, there is a big step for the Viennese subway: After months of construction, the U2 runs again continuously from the Seestadt to Karlsplatz. According to wien.orf.at , the company will be recorded in the morning at 5:00 a.m. after numerous tests without passengers were successfully carried out. The new platform sliding doors, which are designed for the planned fully automatic U5 line, are now in operation in the modernized stations Karlsplatz, Museumsquartier, Volkstheater and Rathaus, which makes access to passengers easier.
The completion of the U2 was already planned for autumn 2023, but litterous technical problems and delays in the area of the Rathaus construction site led to these delays. During the processing, not only the route between Schottentor and Karlsplatz was renewed, but also new elevators and escalators as well as a tactile guidance system for visually impaired people. The Wiener Linien report that the U2 will also drive in mixed operation from 2026, which is a significant innovation for the Viennese subway network.
changes in transport conditions
In addition, from December 6, 2024, new conversion conditions are in force that prohibit the use of e-mopeds in public transport. According to the Viennese lines, these vehicles often block the entry area and hinder the smooth change of passenger. In the event of violations, a fine of up to 50 euros is imposed. This should improve the new framework conditions for the passengers who can now drive from the Seestadt to Karlsplatz again.| Details | |
