Timetable change 2024: Improved connections for Vorarlberg's public transport

On Sunday, December 15, 2024, the traditional timetable change for bus and train in Vorarlberg is planned, which brings a variety of innovations and improvements for passengers. Around 86,000 people in the region use public transport mainly for professional and leisure trips. With the upcoming adjustments, the offer is significantly expanded.

The transport offer on the 18 main lines on Saturday is massively expanded, especially in the lowlands. There is now a half -hourly time here, so that buses can run up to every seven minutes on the main axes. Environmentally friendly transport options are also improved, such as the expansion of line 164 between Lustenau and Wolfurt in the half -hour rhythm. This line will also open up new residential areas and help to make local public transport more attractive.

important changes for the city bus Dornbirn

In the Dornbirn city bus, the timetable is also adapted, especially to strengthen Saturday traffic. Line 201 will drive every 15 minutes in the future, while line 211, which previously only drove on weekdays, now also tiles the residential area on Saturday. Mayor Andrea Kaufmann emphasizes that this will continue to promote the use of the bus because more and more people are using Saturday for purchases.

Another highlight is the introduction of a cashless ticket sales on the bus. From December 11, 2024, passengers on the Arlberg tickets can easily purchase tickets with a cell phone, smartwatch or bank card via special terminals. This simplifies the purchase and promotes the use of public transport.

extensions in the train connection

The train connections also experience significant changes. The line S1 from Bludenz to Lindau is enriched by an additional departure at 5.19 a.m., which enables commuters to connect to long -distance transport towards Vienna. There are also additional evening connections on the Montafonerbahn S4, which extend the half -hourly cycle until late in the evening. In the Dreiländer line S7, all trips to Lindau-Island are extended, and the Westbahn introduces new connections between Vorarlberg and Vienna.

In addition, the bus offer in the Bregenzerwald region is expanded to a year -round semi -hour from Monday to Friday, the night bus lines also receive new trips to better meet the needs of the population. These changes not only offer passengers more flexibility, but also the opportunity to make publicly more attractive to increase use.

The entire concept for improving local transport is part of an ongoing process to make mobility in Vorarlberg more efficient and more comfortable. More details on this important topic can be found in a detailed report on www.meinbezirk.at .
