NEOS demands expansion of the shuttle service during the U1 lock

After the announcement on the persistent lock of the U1, the NEOS faction on the Wieden intensified dialogue with the district chief. This is done with regard to the increasing challenges for the citizens that arise from the sudden closure. Above all, people restricted mobility are affected by this situation, which is why Neos proposes to temporarily expand the existing shuttle service of the Viennese lines.

The shuttle service, which is originally designed for the construction site in Wiedner Hauptstraße, could possibly also reach beyond the U1 to Prinz-Eugen-Straße. These measures would make it possible to relax the traffic in the area. Johannes Sablatnig, district spokesman for the Neos on the Wieden, commented concern about the resulting chaos in traffic: "Unfortunately, the lock of the U1 brings even more chaos into the current traffic situation on Wieden at short notice. As a solution-oriented force, our Neos district councils are looking for a short-term solution to the Wiedner population in exchange with the district leadership."

The shuttle service was originally an initiative to alleviate the impairments by the ongoing construction work on Wiedner Hauptstraße. The expansion of the deployment area could bring a timely improvement for the affected residents. It remains to be seen how the Viennese lines will react to the proposal and whether such a short -term change in the shuttle service can be implemented.
