On Friday, November 29, the U1 subway line in Vienna was put into operation again after a fire on November 19. Previously, the trains were in two sections: they only ran between Oberlaa and Reumannplatz and from Schwedenplatz to Leopoldau. This restoration is of great importance for passengers who are strongly dependent on this connection.

In addition, the U4 has extended intervals due to construction work on the Alserbach Bridge. Until December 17th, only every second train will go beyond Schwedenplatz to Heiligenstadt. If you want to rely on the U2, you should note that until further notice it only drives between the lake city and the Schottentor. The resumption of the company between the Schottentor and Karlsplatz is planned at the earliest.

operating adjustments and replacement offers

Various replacement offers have been set up during the conversion measures. The U1 line is increasingly operated, and there is an additional tram line U2Z and lines D, 1, 2 and 71, which support passengers. Another restriction affects the Kagran U1 station towards Leopoldau; This is not temporarily stopped here, so that passengers have to switch to the opposite direction.

The western route and lines 1, 62 and the Badner Bahn are also affected by restrictions. The entire western route will start full operation again on December 15, but commuting and several S-Bahn lines have been gradually back into operation since October. These measures are necessary to maintain the track systems and to ensure safe use.

to November 29, lines 1 and 62 were not traveling between Karlsplatz and Kliebergasse due to track work. In order to offer passengers alternatives, line 59a is used more often, and Badner Bahn takes diversions over the South Tyrolean Platz/main train station. There are also special shuttle services for passengers restricted mobility.

The current changes in public transport in Vienna are crucial for maintaining mobility in the city and improving accessibility even during the necessary maintenance and modernizations. Further details and current information can be found at www.oeastc.at.
