Public transport in Vienna: Complete operation of the U1 and important changes
The U1 in Vienna will be in continuous operation again from November 29th. Find out more about current changes and alternative transport options in Vienna's public transport network.
Public transport in Vienna: Complete operation of the U1 and important changes
On Friday, November 29th, the U1 subway line in Vienna was put back into regular operation after a fire on November 19th. Previously, the trains ran in two sections: they only ran between Oberlaa and Reumannplatz and from Schwedenplatz to Leopoldau. This restoration is of great importance for passengers who rely heavily on this connection.
In addition, the U4 currently has extended intervals due to construction work on the Alserbach Bridge. Until December 17th, only every second train will travel beyond Schwedenplatz to Heiligenstadt. If you want to use the U2, you should note that until further notice it only runs between Seestadt and Schottentor. The resumption of operations between Schottentor and Karlsplatz is not planned until the end of 2024 at the earliest.
Operational adjustments and replacement offers
During the renovation work, various replacement offers were set up. The U1 line is increasingly served, and there is also an additional tram line U2Z as well as lines D, 1, 2 and 71, which support passengers. Another restriction concerns the U1 station Kagran in the direction of Leopoldau; There are temporarily no stops here, so passengers have to change trains in the opposite direction.
The western route as well as lines 1, 62 and the Badner Bahn are also affected by restrictions. The entire western route will resume full operation on December 15th, but commuter services and several S-Bahn lines have been gradually returning to operation since October. These measures are necessary to maintain the track systems and ensure safe use.
Until November 29th, lines 1 and 62 were not running between Karlsplatz and Kliebergasse due to track work. In order to offer passengers alternatives, line 59A will be used more frequently and the Badner Bahn will take diversions via Südtiroler Platz/Hauptbahnhof. There are also special shuttle services for passengers with reduced mobility.
The current changes in public transport in Vienna are crucial for maintaining mobility in the city and improving accessibility even during necessary maintenance work and modernization. Further details and current information can be found at www.oeamtc.at.
